LOL! You sound like me when I sold my ranch house in the ‘burbs and bought my first farm. I had it written into the contract that I could come back the next spring for my compost pile. The new owners said, “YES! PLEASE DO!” :)
You’ll have that ‘Christmas Feeling’ again. Mine sucked in 2020 when my Dad died and we were all trapped like rats in our homes. But, Life Goes On, as time will show you. :)
My next Wal-Mert Adventure will be the day AFTER Christmas, but I plan on just placing an order for pick-up for the remaining things I need for our celebration on the 30th. If they don’t have the Garden Center open, I rarely go inside. ;)
That’s funny. Did you have to place a value on the compost pile in case you didn’t show up?
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 ðŸ˜).
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’ .... :-)
