Transplanting….
I’m always transplanting perennials and shrubs. Over the years I’ve found out what works and what doesn’t. When Northern Gardener asked for article ideas for the 2019 season, I recommended one about dividing & transplanting perennials.
Since they accepted, I’ve been out deciding what I need to move. I’ve transplanted a few roses, bronze fennel, and other various herbs so I can take photos of the process.
The things I transplanted last month are starting to leaf out once again and should be lush by the end of September. When we moved to Maine 6 years ago, I brought almost and entire moving truck filled with plants from my old garden. Every single one of them survived, which was amazing since it was early December when I dug them up.
Do you move plants frequently? Any great tips/tricks to share? Or any specific questions you have that I should definitely cover in my article?

Susy, my only transplants are sping seed starts. They usually take care of them selves. Wow, I can’t believe it’s been six years since you moved to Maine. It’s been a real joy and inspiration to follow your progress with establishing the new gardens that you have in Maine.
I haven’t heard much about Tara lately. Is she still doing OK?
Have a great transplanting day.
