oops. I gave false info!!! thought that was too much rain. I saw an extra 0 that wasn't there. However, we did get more than the airport as my tall bin out in the open has about 40cm=20" in it, and I didn't open the lid until well after the rain started.

I planted a philadelphus in front of some daylilies. It is supposed to be a short and fragrant one. Am after more small deciduous shrubs that can shade them in summer but not winter. On the footpath the weeds have appeared overnight. Ground too wet to mow yet. And ground way too soggy to dig.

Just pulled rusty leaves off PREPPY and DENALI which are said to show resistance. Have decided that when it is less saturated I will transplant a bunch of daylilies with rust. I will take off all the green bits and plant them together. Then I can dig the old area. Wish there were a team of me. But I am grateful every day that I can still walk and do stuff. It is a race. I have to get smarter about achieving my goals. And maybe reassess what my limits should be. Since there is an (as yet unknown) upper limit on how many daylilies/plants I can look after, I have to be more judicious about what I acquire and keep. As my daughter often says, "Quality not quantity".
