I don't have time to post pics today as I am working on more of my moving around projects. Started yesterday, still working today. Today I moved some Strawberry Candies and put clumps of Fancy Face were they used to be.

I also need to go and dig up clumps of iris that are near the end were I have my path and cucumbers planted. Cucumbers growing like mad and taking over the space. I need to take out iris at the end and put up cucumber trellis. I figgured at least 5 iris would have to move but it actually turned out to be 6 iris clumps I dug up. That is why I made room, so I have somewhere to put the iris to be moved.

I just have the clumps out and carried down to near my kitchen door. Tomorrow I will sort them, cut back leaves, divide and replant. Not up to it today. Now I need to get the metal fence posts that I use for support and pound them in so I can string trellis and get those cucumber vines headed the right way. This is one case where my usual method of crowding things in deffinately does not work! Need room!

But I have to get this done as poor planning on where I planted those cucumbers. And I am not about to pull them out LOL!
