So exitined to see how the new garden turns out, when my mum moved she left a lovely garden behind,but the new people don't want it so they dug up the garden and took it to mum a wheelbarrow full at a time ,
I took my 19 year collection with me. Its been 2 years since moving and my old plant friends have 95% survived and doing great. Grapes, peony, roses, figs, raspberries, blackberries, and camilla. Only my 2 year old paw paw trees did not make it. But this was used as an excuse to buy honeyberries.😊
I’ve moved house on a regular basis and have always taken a supply of plants. This last move the out going couple allowed me take pots over before the process had finished. To make it easier I did plant several small plants in each pot and split on arrival. Some plants I just took cuttings.
Decades ago, a horticultural teacher/professor said that to avoid transplant "shock" when you move cuttings rooted in water to a soil environment, grow them in very wet, sterile vermiculite instead of plain water. The contact with the vermiculite will cause the cutting's roots to be "soil-type roots" instead of "water roots, " and if you need to check on root development while the cuttings are doing their root growing, you can pull them up without damaging the roots because the vermiculite is so lightweight.
@@catsmother4556 You are most welcome, but having posted that comment, above, I have to say that just this very day (25 May, 2021) I read that vermiculite and perlite, being heat-expanded rock (artificially, that is), are responsible for a given amount of greenhouse gas production as a by product or products of the manufacturing processes. So, depending on one's own perception of ecological responsibility---and please understand I'm not making decisions for anybody, nor am I judging anybody--- either vermiculite or perlite might be something one feels obligated to eschew.
My husband has been talking about moving for years and I dread the day but have always stood by my stance that I will "DIG UP EVERY PLANT!!" after spending thousands of dollars on my precious plants on the acreage that was basically empty when we moved in... but in the past few months, I've decided that sounds awfully greedy and also, exhausting. So, I'll just end up doing what you've done here... which still looks exhausting, but I guess we're gardeners because we love it, not because of how long it'll take or how much work it looks like. :) Thanks for the inspiration and tips!!
Oh Liz, I am in exactly the same position as you right now...except...the guy we were buying the house from actually decided he no longer wanted to move 😯😪😫, we found this out on Saturday, due to sign contracts next week 🤐🤐🤐 BUT...we found a super place today, and everybody concerned is fast tracking the purchase...phew...meanwhile having gone around our garden and taken cuttings, divided clumps, repotted and bought new roses etc weeks ago, I have had sleepless nights worrying over them. As my old Dad would have said "eeh lass, things'll be alright in the end" 🤭
I am in Australia Liz, and I kept everything in pots (trees included) and moved the whole garden in pots. Everything survived and is going great. It just takes a bit of planning xx Cathi xx
I love doing cuttings now because of one of your videos last year. I’ve been experimenting with house plants too and one of them is in a bottle of water with so many roots ready for the soil. Thank you Liz xx
Wow! An impressive collection of plants you’ve got there, Liz. I can remember us having to hire a Luton van to cart our newly purchased orchard trees and saved plants when we moved 2 years ago. I finally planted the last red currant bush that’s been waiting patiently all this time..
We are looking at moving too. Found a place which needs a lots of work but has 0.25 acres. Just need our house to sell. Exciting times. Good luck with your new venture.
I appreciate hearing about your propagation tips. That is a subject I really want to learn about more. And I like the tubs of water for hydrating potted plants!
Oh Liz. Im so with you. Ive done so many trips(28) from Brighton to Cornwall with many plants pots and trees and the back of my new house looks like your area x 8!!!! I have 20 fruit trees to plant up. All will be container grown due to arsenic I wish i had a Mr J in my life to help share the burden of the packing & move. So excited for you and myself. With the new exciting venture
You can't buy plants like that, they are a natural variant that occurs occasionally. I don't even know that the same plant will do it again this year, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it does.
Hi both. So exciting 👍 Have done similar a few times, but not now...have said I'll go from here in a box 😂 I remember quite some time ago you talked about Walking Onions, which I was intrigued by and intended asking you if I could buy some from you...so I hope you're taking those with you and at some point in the future perhaps I can ask again. Am praying it all goes well mxxx
Depending on how long you leave tour plants while doing you move because the amount of times I have moved in 4 years due to asbestos and decante to temporary property it's the tennets and the work men you have to watch for! They stole 3k worth of Japanese bonsai pots out my shed I was sick of fitting the lock back to it everytime I past amd then the neighbours go around and think it's fine just to lift your expensive plants! I lost about 3 thousand 4 years ago building a Japanese garden new greenhouse and specialised plants etc then was decanted to temporary property but while doing the move and settling in plus wasn't the time of year to lift them, the builders and neighbours stole nearly everything
Fabulous and informative video Liz, 👍🙂 When we moved i potted up all my plants and small fruit trees, we moved in the hottest week on record, it took a week to load, travel and unload: my plants and trees had burnt to a crisp and never recovered. I was so upset. Lesson... load plants last and off load first 😁 I hope your move is as easy and stress free as possible and I know you will have the most incredible gardens within a few years ❤
Excellent video ... as always Liz. Congrats on the pending move. I moved into my spot knowing that this would be a temporary home for us, but that has ever stopped me from gardening. I plan on moving many of my beauties with me while simultaneously leaving a glorious garden for whomever is fortunate enough to move into our current abode. Our move won’t be for at least another year so I’ve not even begun that transition, but I have stored our many, countless pots for the venture when that day does finally arrive. 💚🌱🌾🌱💚
You are in the land where my best friend lives, I am in Costa Rica. You are wanting to take your garden with you, I am also wishing my baby orchard trees won't over grow their current pots before I move to my first property. I think our illusions and dreams might be the same 🥰 best of luck with the moving and transplanting, new subscriber here 💕
Congratulations Liz! This is very exciting,I wish you all the best in the move. I need details,maybe I have missed them,how much land,where etc etc... Whenever I move,I take plants and rocks,everything really. 😉
Love this! I have three allotments 😱 and no plans of moving any time soon, but if I did decide to move one day, I would want to take as much as I can! 💚🪴
Working my way back through your videos, I've missed a few! Just wanted to say thank you for the Rose cutting video you done a while back. I had 4 beautiful New Dawn Rambling Roses that I grew from bare root all over the front of my old home. When we sold it, I had a pang of guilt at leaving them. I took 4 cuttings, as you instructed, and 2 have signs of new growth, and another looks to be hit or miss! So thanks again, I'm chuffed and can't wait to smother our new home with roses ❤️
Exciting times ahead, you must have mixed emotions, both excitement for new beginnings tinged with a little sadness too i imagine for leaving behind all you've created.
I'm sure your new garden is going to look spectacular once you get it going and I'm really looking forward to seeing it. I did the moving of the garden to a different property earlier on this year, including my orchard. It has cost me a small fortune in compost as my new plot is all ants, clay and stones so have to grow everything in beds. It's tough work but it was worth it. If anyone has any advice on how to get the ants to move out of my veggie beds (I don't want to kill them, just move them) I'll be grateful. Mind you, I'm skint so the cheaper the better.
My mum "looked after" my potted up plants. I guess I lost half of them, but then again the peonies are still potted and still happy! Ooh and don't worry about the agapanthus - my white one has been out in all weathers and is fine in the pot. Looks better than when it was in the ground! Lovely to see all your cuttings and pottings. The dahlia looks like it's been dipped in paint - hope the cuttings take and continue the weird phenomena! Cheers Liz.
at least one thing when you get to the next place you can grow your kitchen garden and a good excuse to buy more interesting and excotic varity's also expand and explore new varity's of veggies and fruits. good luck and take care
Hi Liz, was really glad to watch your video, as I’m in the same situation with regards to getting the garden ready for moving to a new house. Have been dividing clumps, taking cuttings and getting everything potted up over the past 4-5 months. If I was to add up the cost of all these plants it would probably come to well over £1000 -at least. As we’ll be moving to a new build with an empty garden I’m glad I will have these plants to start me off. Good luck with the new Byther Farm x
Great idea preparing cuttings, pots,etc beforehand as all moves can become exhausting & overwhelming. I found bringing many plants to my new property made the transition seem much better. Looking forward to sharing your new adventure. Have you sold your current property? 🌺🇦🇺
I'm also in transition, won't be moving until end of summer, but I have access to both properties now. Im anxious to start planting in my new garden but I wasn't sure if now was a good time to transplant. My plan was to dig up my favorite plants to take with me in the fall, but do you think I should do it now? I'm in the pacific northwest, zone 8b. Thank you!
If you can wait until fall, it would probably be better for the plants. You could take cuttings of many things now so you have extra plants in case the larger ones don't make it after transplanting.
Plants are so expensive, it would cost a fortune to replace them. Are there any plants you are happy to say goodbye to but don't have the heart to kill?
My garden is like a living diary, of people, places, days out, gifts and memories etc. When I had to move after 22 years my Landlord summed it up by saying that he wished he could roll the garden up like a carpet so I could take it with me. I really enjoy your videos, please keep posting when you find a space in such a busy time. I have a question I have been wanting to ask you for ages. I think the man I work for has made a terrible mistake. He built a huge greenhouse but used brown plastic sheets? I was given the (extra!) work of using the greenhouse and making a farm garden. We had an absolutely fantastic crop of Tomatoes and Cucumbers last year in the greenhouse.It seemed to me though that seedlings and young plants were light deprived? as they grew tall and spindly in there. Courgette plants that I grew and then planted out went completely white. I thought it must be something in the soil...Then I started thinking, but I'm not sure.... Should he of used clear plastic??? Help!
Thank you for this. How long is it ok to leave the plants in tubs for moving? I so want to be able to take my favourite plants and small shrubs with me but it could be between 1 -2 years before i actually move. xx
Many people grow in containers for years if they don't have access to garden space or the soil is unsuitable to use. You should be able to keep plants for a considerable time as long as you water and feed them appropriately.
Greetings from Denmark! Could you maybe do a video about how you cover your raised beds for frost/and or bugs. You mentioned before that you use these hoops, but could you go further into detail about it - pros and cons, have you tried any alternative, where you you get the cover and how you use it? Love your videos!
I took rose cuttings & the whole pot was doing ever so well.. guess what?.. the next door man who bought my house nicked that pot along with another which had pink & yellow rose bushes growing in it with a whole load of rose cuttings in it too.. that was such an unforgiving act by him ...i still curse him
@@LizZorab luckily .. i got a chance to raid my new neighbour’s garden bin full of their front garden’s rose cuttings in it.. they have beautiful colours there ...i had to hurry up & not let them find me in their bin ( they would’ve happily given them to me , i was embarrassed to ask ).. they’re all doing extremely well, thank god
I’ve started doing this too as we are planning on moving towards the end of this year, but I’m not hopeful about finding the right place as there seems to be nothing at the moment!
We found that we were not allowed to view any properties until we had a proceedable offer on our house. It was then a mad scramble to find something before it was sold!
@@LizZorab Yeah I bet it was! i've been having a casual look to get my eye in but it seems there are literally only one or two things with what we're looking for. Probably not dissimilar to what you were after. Hopefully an acre we are looking for, but more if we can find it!
Are you staying in Wales or going further afield? I've been out of the loop for a few weeks and just catching up on your videos 🙂 just finished Grounded. Great book! It'll come in handy when we get up and running in our new garden here in Suffolk, as will all these new videos. Great timing! 🤓
@@LizZorabAhhh lovely 🙂 we often feel the draw to Wales and it's great to hear you love it. We love the fact Wales is a haven to like-minded off-grid land based permy type people, but we worry it may be too wet over that side of the country (not that it's been dry on this side to be fair) we have heavy horses and winters can be tough going at the best of times. Time will tell. At least we can live in Wales through watching you and Mr J 😊
I am doing alot of this as well. However when we started the garden we knew it was only temporary and that we would be limited to what we could do so the majority of our growing has been containers. I can't wait to be able to grow perennials in the ground. FINALLY :D
@@LizZorab .. I had David Austin roses & many others .. as well as 2 statues.. it was cheaper to hire a van then to buy my plants again, you’re right .. the big van was filled to the brim, i had £600 acer in the ground & didn’t dig it up , i will live to regret that
I’m in the process of selling my current property and moving to a new homestead a half mile away. If the buyers aren’t gardeners, I’m dang well taking all of the topsoil with me lol. I’ve worked two long years to build that soil. It’s living capital.
Your very well prepared for the move, I’d be all over the place 😅 I have an old litter tray I’m using as a tiny pond, it doubles up as a place to hydrate some of my potted plants 😁 I love the chimera flower, how unusual and beautiful, I really hope your cuttings do the same 😊🤞
I know what you mean, I find the garden so much easier to deal with than the house, I’m sure you will get there though, little by little it will all come together 😁
Oh you moving? To a bigger or smaller garden? You got a new polytunnel in one of your videos I watched, can you take it with you or have a brand new one?
