can anyone help, we are moving up to 108 mile ranch next spring from abbotsford and would like to take as many of our plants with us as possible, our problem of course is what will survive. should we simply leave what we have behind and start again or dig and hope for the best. I believe we will be in a number 3 zone and we of course will have quite extreme cold weather, we have been told that not much will survive but surely people must grow things there. we would like to have flowering shrubs and bulbs, deer proof plants will also be a must, if we want to take our pond fish with us to what depth will the pond have to be dug to allow the fish to survive, so many questions. does anyone have any answers.
Hi robert, We don't know which plants you have in mind to move. There seems to be a gardening club near there that may help http://www.gardening.100mile.com/ You may like to Search "100 mile house" in the top title bar, some fruit trees and shrubs mentioned in the threads might be of interest. Maybe members on here with some experience will have suggestions.
I agree that we would need to know what plants you have first, in order to tell you if they would survive. I live in a zone 2/3, so I could give you an idea of what grows here, but a zone 3 on the prairies is a little different than a zone 3 in the mountains. Give us some more info.
