I have... a shrubbery!
More to the point, I have a whole bunch of plants (including two boxwoods and a bayberry, which inspired a number of Monty Python moments over the course of the afternoon) now in residence at the new house instead of at the old house. The aforementioned shrubs, two regular peonies and a Japanese tree peony, one lonely purple coneflower (I'm not sure why none of the rest came up this year), a huge hosta (which will divide into four or five when it's replanted), four roses, including the killer carnivorous rose (which looks very naked all cut back), and about a dozen sedum.
Oh, and maples. We found four fairly substantial maple seedlings which appear to be seedlings from my big front maple tree. I don't feel particularly bad about the fact that this house is going to get bulldozed when I move, but I'm sad about the trees... especially the big silver maple, which has kind of been my special grounding tree ever since I moved in. So I have four baby maples to nurture and find spots for at the new house.
So now I have to finish packing and get moved to the new house, so I can start working on all the beds and find permanent homes for the transplants. In the meantime, at least they're in really good soil and all in the same area so they'll be easy to keep watered. :-) (Which reminds me... I need to water the baby maples, which are out front in a pot rather than up at the new place.)
