Leaving a garden is hard. We left our country garden 5 years ago and moved to 'town' where we have a very small garden. Thank heaven. I am not as young as I was. I am sure you will find another place to make beautiful.Commonweederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913336590036045901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-54364083840544866052019-11-20T14:42:37.024-06:002019-11-20T14:42:37.024-06:00Awww, you had a great garden!

The buyers of our house are not gardeners, I think, based on this question we got: "What does seller use to take care of plants and flowers in yard?" How does one answer a text like that when one has 45 years of gardening experience? lolDig, Grow, Compost, Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111150807638669133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-20350778190388475322019-05-31T09:23:23.097-05:002019-05-31T09:23:23.097-05:00Leaving our former garden was the thing I dreaded ...Leaving our former garden was the thing I dreaded the most about moving. However, the excitement of creating a new one overcame that feeling and wasn't as earth shattering as I thought it would be. I was comforted by the fact that some really great people purchased our house and that they loved the garden. Do you already have a house or will you be renting at first?Phillip Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546160918395373740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-61193312648877236282019-05-30T19:25:07.489-05:002019-05-30T19:25:07.489-05:00Oh, that's going to be hard, isn't it?

See how much fulfillment came into your life when you moved to Ruston although it must have been a very hard move.
