Default I have to move! :-(

Well, my stepfather just informed me that he is selling the family farm,
where we've lived for years. Forget figuring how I'm going to deal with

all
the four-legged beasties, what am I going to do with my PLANTS????

I refuse to leave all my beautiful acquisitions, many with personal

memories
of the long-gone friends who gave them to me, to the attentions of a new
owner. I don't know when I am going to move, and I'm concerned about

doing
it in a way that will least traumatize my plants. My gardens are huge

so
there is no way I intend to move everything, but some of everything is

what
I'm aiming for.

Can anyone recommend a comprehensive site for determining the best way

to
approach moving my stuff? I have everything from grasses to small trees

to
rosebushes to euphorbias, and I need to get some sense of how to handle
their respective moves, depending on what time of year this occurs.

Does
this make sense?

Oh, and I'll remain in the same zone.

Any input would be appreciated.

Why not just buy the farm? Might be easier. Or perhaps just that
part of the farm that your plants reside on?

Well, it was just appraised at over $1 million....

And the mention of buying (my) part of it immediately raised unexpected
(although they shouldn't have been unexpected) reactions from future
beneficiaries of monies generated by the sale.
