1. Nice! Thank you for sharing.

2. You're welcome

I was outside, surveying the garden that won’t be mine in three weeks. Moving to another house, so I have to start over again on a new garden. As they say, it’s all about the journey - not the destination.

16. We've moved quite a few times and

leaving my gardens is always difficult. The one I have now would be especially difficult because my husband, who isn't outdoorsy at all, made me a beautiful rock garden/patio area last year. But I know it will happen eventually because my final house will be a smaller one story. I don't want to do stairs when I get older.

17. I don't even want to think about all the rock I put in this garden

but the new house has about 1/2 acre, and I’ve got more than just a concept of a plan

18. I hope you enjoy your new house and garden 🙂

20. I've got all this fall and winter to get ready

It occurs to me that gardening is an expression of optimism about…well, everything in general. I say this while listening to some really dark music.

3. What beautiful photos, my dear EYESORE 9001!

Thank you for showing them to us.

And I'm sorry that you're moving away from them. I hope your new yard and garden will flourish much as this one has.

4. It's a bit disheartening to leave my garden

It was a labor of love to make a quiet place to sit and meditate. I’ll get going on a new garden next spring at the new house.

5. Beautiful!

6. I should have taken pictures when the spring & summer blooms were out

Riotous colors, I’m tellin’ ya! That bush with the white blooms (hibiscus) was covered in flowers as big as your face.

7. Really nice!

My garden is kind of a mess right now. Yours looks well cared for. Sorry you will have to leave it behind.

8. Wow, nice, just nice! I can see why you'll regret moving from this to your new place, but you'll hopefully have seeds

from the old garden and will plant them in your new garden, if time allows (I know what moving is all about, packing and unpacking, rearranging and arranging, yada yada yada!). Hope your move will go smoothly.

I love the sizes of your Marigolds (? I am thinking that's what these are).

There's nothing more that I love is to wander through a garden and enjoy the sights, over the course of a year, and especially in the fall, when it's harvest time. The pumpkins and gourds look wonderful too.

Good luck to you in your future garden and move!

9. Great garden!

I've forgotten the name of the plant with the large flowers. My grandmother used to have one just like it. Is it Hibscus? It is just lovely!
Love all your gourds and pumpkins, too.
Edited to say: Sorry, I didn't read the posts carefully enough! Thank you for the name of your lovely plant!

10. These beauties are going to the new house

Just got them, and they’ve gorgeous. They will go into the ground once we get moved in. The ones I have already haven’t bloomed very much so far.

11. Those are gorgeous and they'll give your new garden a fantastic start!

19. From early summer

Garlic scapes from my crop this year. Asian Tempest garlic provided these curly stalks, which provided seasoning and accompaniment to many different dishes. The garlic may be too intense for some palates, but I ain’t got good sense.
