they look sad, but im praying for the best and still feel hopeful. they are just plants after all.
i felt if i got them in my yard i could quit worrying. i was really stressed yesterday. i would be stressed like that everyday for the next 2 months if i left them. it was a risk to move them, but i'd rather cry for a day over losing one, then stress for 2 months trying to save them all.
i hadn't been watering nearly as much as i could have. the soil was pretty much crumbly dry. due to this fact the roots didn't really spread out too far. the main root balls remained intact while moving them. a lot of the dirt fell off, bit most of the thick roots stayed undamaged. and i only lost a couple of side branches.
