That would be too funny. <br /><br />Annie's Granny, well I don't know. She is pretty busy right now. She is getting a graduate degree and runs her own business. But you never know. She might end up liking it. Both of them did say they would help with getting the landscape in though. We will see how much time they all have. Of course that is the hard part because we have to dig.<br /><br />sarada, wonderful. I'm going to be planting the jalapenos in about a week.<br /><br />Ribbit, sometimes I wonder.<br /><br />Momma_S, yes and I've even shredded most of the leaves already. I'm sure they are well on their way to breaking down. I'd never be able to find such a good source of browns at this time of year.<br /><br />Ali, lol now I hadn't thought of that. Maybe if the new owners are going to rip the garden out anyway. I'll have to wait and see. If the new owners are gardeners I'd love to keep it for them. The last house I sold the new owners were so happy to have a garden. They'd never had one before and always wanted one.<br /><br />GrafixMuse, I would feel really guilty about bringing in the soil if the new owners wanted it.

The raspberries I could take some of the runners. They are such weeds that I'm constantly pull them out of the blueberries anyway.
