Today the temps are back to normal for this time of year and it must have been 80 or so. Back to working in the garden. Today I moved a big clump of Matrona sedum and I was lucky to get it all in once piece and not have it break apart. I did cut it back quit a bit so that it has an easier time adjusting to the move. Then I moved three daylilies around because I thought they would go together better this way rather than the old way color and heightwise. After that I moved 3 daylilies that were in the back of the daylily bed foreward. I had room because I took out that big clump of sedum. Now why did these daylilies have to move forward you might ask? Well, because I had room in back of this daylily bed were nothing was currently planted (last year I had zinnias in there but never did put them there this year) but needed more room further along. And why do I need room all along in back of the daylilies? Because I mail ordered more tomato plants which were shipped today and should be here Wednesday-Thursday. I have to have some place to put them.

I have Juliet Tomato plants in back of daylily plants in another garden section and that is working out well so I thought I could use this space as well in the same manner. Not that I need more tomato plants. But someone on another forum was saying how they bought these unusual variety of tomato as seedlings plants which were shipped and of course I had to go look. I found they had all sorts of varieties as plants and were still shipping plus they were on sale. They ship as a cellpack of 4 plants. So I bought 4 SUNSUGAR because I want to compair them to my (already here) SUNGOLD. And while I was there I couldn't resist and bought this really unusual variety called Japanese Black Trifele. So now I had to find space for 8 more tomato plants.

The tomatoes I have here are growing like crazy and I had to get twine and tie big loops around the ones in front of the porch and tie them back to the posch railings. Crazy! And I am a crazy lady for buying more tomato plants. But I just could not stop myself from ordering them. Whistling Hilarious!
