But there is the bittersweet goodbye to my garden. I've always been the type to get attached and I am horrible at goodbyes. I suppose only a gardener would understand the labor and love that went into growing and nurturing plants, to stroll through the garden and have a history and story to tell about every plant. The ones I grew from seeds, the ones I got from the clearance (aka. verge of death) section at the nursery and now have to battle to keep them from taking over the yard, the ones I hand picked pests off, and all the ones that make me smile.
Of course there will be more plants and stories. I do love the idea of leaving a trail of gardens and flowers behind whenever I leave. The gardener's legacy.. making the world a more beautiful place one yard at a time!
I've sold two houses so far. I left gardens at them both. In a way I was happy as the people who bought the places both wanted to keep the gardens. Both had never gardened before.
