I am moving from Brownwood, Tx to Farmington, NM first week in April. I want to take some Mullein, some Mexican petunia, Mexican oregano, Mexican poinsettia and aloe vera as well as a wee little tree I don't remember what it's name is but came in a Earth Day packet last year. Will they take?

Thanx
yes... they will do fine.
Yes Aloe Vera will grow outside no problem,I live in a Temperate climate and it grows beautifully,I am not familiar with the other plants but I would give them a little more attention for a while ie water and feed you should not have a problem.Good luck
Might want to do some preliminary investigation -- what is good for one area can be considered an invasive species in another. The butterfly bush was suggested by nationally known botanical garden in my local newspaper, later a retraction; though only a 100 miles away, the butterfly bush was /is considered an invasive species in my area. Good Luck.
Also check to see if you can legally move plants across the state line there. Coming into California fresh fruits and live plants can be, and usually are confiscated to avoid bringing in pests that are harmful.
