Oh, man. I'm sorry to hear that. Since you kept your house, maybe you can move back some day when you're retired and plant there again. You probably don't even want to think about moving again right now since you just did it. I feel for you, buddy. All that digging is a tremendous amount of work, especially given the heat. I hope you are taking care of your back and staying hydrated as you work. I feel a lot of empathy for you. Now that I have so many in the ground, I don't think I would ever want to dig them up if I had to move unless, maybe, they were still small. I'm thinking that I would take cuttings with me if I had to move or if fire was coming down the hill or something. It's tough.

So you planted adeniums? Interesting. Were you going to leave them there for the winter or bring them up? I have been very tempted to put my adeniums in a little bed that I have in front, but our winters are kind of cold and damp so I don't think they would like it much in the bed even if it were kept dry.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe you dug up a hibiscus. It must have been fairly small because those roots and trunks can get massive.

Pots won't be bad, but as many as you have, if you can set up a dripper system going into your pots, it will be much easier on you, I think. I did pots for many years, and it's not too bad if you keep on top of the transplanting every year.
