How to Move Plants in the Garden

Spring in the garden is the great time to move plants. Roots are less prone to rot, they are more willing to go into new soil areas and plants enjoy great vigor of growth. Today I am moving Nepeta Six Hills Giant. It is being moved from the back of my garden to the front, near the road.

Informative and delightful as usual. This lady is quickly becoming the go to queen of the roses.

Olga, you are the best! I could listen to you talk about anything. I love you voice and your sweet mannerisms. Thanks for another fun video.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Aww, you are welcome, Barbara!

Thank you so much for sharing, Olga! You are always so joyful and inspiring. Here in Missouri almost every time I dig a hole I come across rocks. When my husband and I moved here about a year and a half ago we were told by our realtor that Missouri grows rock, she was absolutely right 😆🤣

[@OlgaCarmody]

We do have lots of rocks too, but maybe not so many as in Missouri. :)

Very interesting and useful video. I’m preparing to move 3 ankle-height plants and needed this for confidence! I particularly enjoy the trick of moving them in buckets.

Amazingly clear and concise vid on how to transplant (and divide). I hope all new gardeners can see this. Very well done. Love the explanation of all steps.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Thank you! Glad this video was helpful!

😮 oh my goodness... My grandson touched the screen while we watched , and apparently hit the thumbs down 😅 thank goodness I seen that at the end and quickly thumbs up'ed it !!! I absolutely loved this and was so glad to hear you teach on protecting roots, way too often over looked on many other peoples , gardening videos !!! Happy spring and yes, such good work , that "good tired " at the end of the day 🌿🌱🌹🌷

[@OlgaCarmody]

😁 I have the same feeling, nobody talks about exposed roots. Enjoy your time with that precious baby!

[@bethyoung3654]

Wonderful video 🌹

[@MarigoldsintheGarden]

I always enjoy your videos, Olga. Thank you for sharing. I am about to grow some Nepata from seeds, so I will keep it in mind that the plants will spread.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Thank you! Enjoy your plants

Another good video. I learned my lesson the hard way two years ago when I was moving a precious rose. I did not lose it but it sure looked sad for a long time.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Oh, we all have our stories, right? Some of my mistakes at the beginning were so plain wrong. Well, we learn. Happy gardening!

[@bruceyang7255]

Amazing grace!

[@melissaboerman3354]

I agree! There is nothing as exhilarating physical work in the garden.

[@touchdownusc9781]

Best wishes on your Boscobell move. She is one of my favoir. I have her near my front entryway. She has an awesome fragrance. I have a trio of LOS next to my driveway. They were barrooms from year year and they want to take over the world. I am thinking of moing one next year. Keep up your great work Olga!

[@OlgaCarmody]

Thank you, I love that rose. She is growing in not very protected space and stuggles. Have a lovely garden day!

[@KS-ys8vu]

This is for me. Lol. All my mistakes…

[@OlgaCarmody]

KS, did I thumb your message down. Sorry!

[@leahwilson7710]

I just moved to my new house they had a rose bush that died so I pulled it out well this year I noticed a baby rose coming out where I pulled it lol

[@OlgaCarmody]

Great news for you! If it is own root, you will have the same rose. If it was grafted rose, then you might have a vigorous surprise, since root stock is different and it might have produced a new shoot.

[@leahwilson7710]

@Olga Carmody I think it was grafted I will have to move it due to almost planting a butterfly bush ontop last year. How long does it take a baby rose to get old enough to flower?

[@kaygarbett7857]

Olga, may I ask the size of that black bucket you carry things with? It looks like a flexible one. Love the video ❤❤❤

[@OlgaCarmody]

It is a 10-gal bucket. I bought it at our discount store Job Lot. It is such a good one. Next time I am there, I will want to buy 2 or 3 more. I will let you know how successful I am and what company it is. Happy gardening!

[@kaygarbett7857]

@@OlgaCarmody thank you so much 😊

[@Mary-zi7yw]

Olga..I adore your advice, garden and videos, but I just wanted to tell you that the saying is not " my five cents"...it is "my two cents". Not a big deal but I thought you might want to know this is all..hugs!

[@OlgaCarmody]

Ha, it is me with my English! Thank you, two cents it will be!

[@Mary-zi7yw]

@@OlgaCarmody laughs..you are very sweet...I am glad you did not get offended! Because I meant the comment with love..hugs and have a great day gardening my friend! By the way..I have learned ALOT from you already..so thank you!
