Moving container plants

habitat_gardener · July 22, 2017

I am planning to move in a month or two and would like to take some of my container plants with me. The move is "only" about 100 miles, and it'll probably take 2 trips to move the plants I want to bring with me.

The 3 tomatoes and 4-5 peppers I want to take are in 10-15 gallon pots. If you've had experience moving tomato plants in midseason, was it worth doing?

I will probably just pick the greenies at the community garden (only 15 plants each of tomatoes and peppers this year), so I will have a bunch of stuff to ripen, and of course there are farmers' markets everywhere.

Still...it would be nice to have fresh ones to pick, if they don't all fall off in transit!!
