I wish I could take the great dirt in my raised beds & compost from last year’s leaves, but I think it might be too much to tackle - too heavy. My cousin where we are moving has an excavating & hauling company & could haul dirt or if I can find some & get it loaded, could use the old pickup like I did with the herb garden addition (that I have to leave behind for sure 😭).

The neighbor across the street is a great guy & his kids, daughter in particular, loves flowers. Mom takes them flower bouquets about once a month. He has a small raised bed & grows a tomato plant or two. I plan on telling him he is welcome to the dirt in the wooden raised beds & if he can figure out how to move them, he can have the beds as well. The two oldest beds are starting to rot - if they were a year or two old, I might have tried moving them. The herb extension is new, but the wood was warped & I had to take some ‘measures’ to get it together - don’t want to deal with trying to take it apart again.

Looking for a place where I can buy herbs where we’re moving - might have to hop across the mountain where my niece lives - she has ‘sources’. I am digging up the 3 lavenders & taking them for sure.

I might have a great spot against the back of the shop for hollyhocks ... will be there tomorrow for the home inspection & will be checking out ‘places’ .... :-)
