Due to a number of circumstances, we decided to move to a new (bigger) house, very close to where the UrbanHoe all started. Of course I could not abandon my much loved garden, so I took it with me. I was not too sure how this garden transfer would turn out, because I have never done it before. Here were the tips that I listened to:
- Transplant at dusk, or at night when the plants are sleeping - this causes less stress
- Dig very very deep as to not nip off any tap roots
- Remove as little dart from the root ball as possible
- Once you have them in the buckets, water them
Here are the last pics of the garden before we dug it all up. I'll note which plots we took, and which ones we left for the wonderful neighbors to tend to.

I also took the fennel, the peas, some Yukon gold potatoes and some beets to see if they would make it.
Here are some of the pics from the transfer
