Cindy, thanks. Thru the years I really have been adding lots and lots of late and extra late bloomers to extend the daylily season.

Ann, I am definately going to have to try the ARMENIAN melon cucumbers again next year.

Tried to get the entire upstairs Tall Bearded Iris bed weeded today but just couldn't finish. I hope I can finish tomorrow and then mulch with straw along the pathway. Can't mulch the iris, which is why the weeding. I will put more Preen in the iris garden once I am done.

Harlan's Pride/Hearts Of Fire. So many right ones that I am on my way with a shovel. Could one of you pick me up at the airport before you get to Rita's??

Ih Steph, I bet you could fill up your entire garden with bright colors you found here. I do love the hot colored daylilies.

Bold Witness & Dream Sequence

Thanks Cindy. It is unbelievable how much of my daylily gardens are totally done for the year already.

I have Dream Sequence way up in my back garden but it is so beautiful that I intend to move it after flowering to the Terraces garden here by by back kitchen door. I just love it so much. It is a Rice intro that I got in their clump sale last summer.

Lots of tomatoes!

Fantastic crop Rita!!!!

You think I have enough to eat there? Honestly I am just a frustrated tomato farmer. I just want to plant so many varities each year.

That is the first thing that came to mind, Rita. That you may not have
enough.

I did give away most of them but my kitchen counter still has a lot of tomatoes sitting here. That is good because I eat some every day. I just love those home grown tomatoes.

Since I had all those different types I was planning on doing taste tests and compairing. But by the time I got them into the house and on the counter I had gotten them all mixed up and no longer knew which variety was which. So next time to will pick different varieties I am going to label with post it notes so that I can have my official tastings.

Love your Bold Witness!!

I could under stand that Rita

The mix up with the taste test thing has happened to me too, Rita. Post it notes sounds
like a good idea.

Also the same thing with cantaloupes, pepper, cukes, beans, corn, and who knows what else.
I love to try different varieties too and taste test them.

That's just part of the fun of growing veggies.

Thanks! Bold Witness is one of my Korth intros.

Cindy, when I had the piles of tomatoes out on my stoop I knew which was which. But my the time I picked out and bagged ones to give away all the piles looked really different than they started out and I got mixed up. Didn't help that I movced the piles around! I learned my lesson. I thought I would remember and realised I would not. However lots and lots of tomatoes to come so I WILL be doing the taste tests and next time I WILL label them so not to get confused!

And I only need post it notes on the ones picked out for the tasting, not on each tomato harvested. So lets say I pick 5 whoppers and 5 better boys. Pick out the ones for the testing and stick post it notes on those two.

I think we just made real progress in "Smiley or Emoticon Language", Rita.
