Yes you can but be very careful with the smaller plants that do not have the root system fully established. Be sure that all the plants roots on all the plants are covered and do not get exposed to the air. Most of all replant as soon as possible. They all have a transplant concentrate that you could use that helps the plants with the shock of transplanting.

Answer 4

You know, I don't understand what kind of mindset people are in when they ask questions like this. (I'm not trying to sound rude, you probably really want to do this) I worked at a very famous berry farm, and this had to be one of the number one questions: CAN I TAKE MY GARDEN WITH ME WHEN I MOVE? For the love of God, NO! Think about the plant as a living thing, its root systems are the foundation of the plant. You want to chop probably 1/2 the roots off and take the poor plant someplace else and try to root it there. Not only is this not going to be a very productive move, but you are not gaining anything by doing so. These plants will have to catch-up, if you will, so that you gain nothing by moving existing plants than if you just bought new plants or seeds and started over again. It's much better for the plants just to leave them where they are for the new homeowners to enjoy, and spare the plants the stress of moving. (Not to mention the stress and time you will spend as you carefully dig up each plant, and wrap it in peat and paper and water it like crazy for weeks and weeks)

The optimum time to move plants (perenniels) is when they are DORMANT. The optimum time to move annuals, is never. You put them where you want them, (their growing season is short enough as it is), and you leave them there. My guess is that you think you're gaining something by dragging your poor plants with you. I understand your point of view, "I bought them, I've nurtured them until now, and I want to reap the benefits." Obviously, you don't understand how plants work, or I don't think you'd even consider moving the plants. (You'd only get about 50% survival rate if that.) Look at it this way, you are going to be sooooo busy, with moving everything else with you, your furniture, your clothes, your family, the last thing you need to worry about is plants. You probably won't even have time to care for them properly with all the other things you will be busy with in your new home. Get settled in your home, and then worry about planting another garden for NEXT SPRING. By moving the plants you're not giving yourself anything but stress! Try not to think about it as LOSING PLANTS, try to think about it in terms of GIVING A GIFT of a GARDEN to the new homeowners. It would make you happy to move into a house with an existing garden, right? So, think of the happiness you are giving these people, let that help you to feel better about "leaving the vegetables behind." Ok? You have more important things to worry about right now. Congrats on the new house!!!

Answer 5

It depends on where you are and where you are going.

It is quite common to take root vegetables and move them but only if you are going to a climate at least comparable to the one you just left.

If you have ever lived in the South you know that it is commonly practiced. If you have ever lived in the North it is not quite as widely accepted because the season is too short.

Answer 6

You can but doesn't make any sense. Leave the garden for the people who will be moving in will appreciate by them. You can get a new garden prepare at your new place for next year.

Answer 7

Although you could move some things, it would not be successful with most. Vegetables are annuals not perennials. If you were talking about asparagus, say, you could move it. But annual vegetables? not a good idea. A lot of work. If they were in containers, okay. Unless you dig deep and put them in containers for transport, I fear you will lose most of them or delay their development so much as to make them useless. Good luck.

Answer 8

Technically you *can*. It's not a very good idea as you will have to baby the plants to death to get them to be "OK". Also depending where you live is also a factor.

Answer 9

dig and keep the roots moist in a damp peat moss until replanting or transport everything in pots tobe replanted. Don't let themdry out, but do not drown them either. Wet nespapers will retain moisture for several days

Answer 10

you can but it generally not a good ideal you will need to keep them moist and be sure when you remove them from the old place to get enough of the dirt to keep them in the same type soil til they adjust to thier new surroundings and when you go to put them back in ground do so when it is early morning or better in late evening giving theem enough time to adjust before the heat of day

Answer 11

no. the plants will never recover. if, and thats a big if, you manage to get them to survive, they would take so long to produce you would probably loose your season. plus, the plants did what you asked them to do when you planted them. consider them a gift to the new occupants. i am a passionate gardener, so i understand your feelings, but its simply an exercise in futility. sorry.
