I have a small town garden here in Yucatan, and after several years of having to pull things out and decide not to plant things I want, I also am looking for a larger place, out of town. I want more trees, and more than one of the things I like, like fruit trees, bananas, papaya, things like that.<br /><br />Like Marc Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289566244668566622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-81238044929219713732010-12-02T07:33:43.721-08:002010-12-02T07:33:43.721-08:00Finally, got what I was looking for!!

Some potential buyers won't take a liking to your garden style. So buy a new house and give yourself two months to move the plants before putting the city house on the market if possible. Or start potting things up for a move well ahead of time.<br /><br />Don't worry Christopher C.
