| Hey there, I have a number of small volunteer lupine in one of my beds. I really need to move them, do you think I can do it? These are REALLY small, only one or two leaf sets on them.

| Oh yes, I wouldn't hesitate. That is about the size that I plant winter-sown Lupines. Just keep them well-watered for awhile. Actually I moved one of my blooming sized Lupines early this Spring, in the xeric garden. The plants don't get a lot of pampering out there. That one is blooming now, although it only has one blooming stalk and it probably would have had more if I hadn't transplanted it or had watered it more after the move. |

| move one or two ... and if in a week they make it.. move the others ... water well the day before... or even better .. do it in rain ... and take a big gob of soil with them.. digging new hole first.. and water well.. and at that size ... they may never know they were moved ... and by gob.. at this size.. i mean a teacup full ... this is a hand trowel job.. not a shovel job ... ken |

| Thanks, I thought that would be the answer, but it didn't hurt to ask first. It's been raining for 4 days, and tonight there is a freeze warning! I might wait til tomorrow. |
