Picked tomatoes again. And lots of cucumbers off the Orient Express cuke vines. It started raining slightly and I was picking in the rain. Trying to get those tomatoes picked because they don't need to soak up any more water so as to split and crack. Rained yesterday and overnight as it is.

I think I am in for the afternoon. Maybe not. We will see if it clears up but doesn't look promising.

I started my move those daylilies that were in the veggie garden to the front yard project. Will finish tomorrow if it keeps raining or this afternoon if it stops raining. Basically, I thought about this for weeks. I want to convert that one section into veggie garden space. It used to be veggie garden before TB iris and daylilies went in. Rolling on the floor laughing The iris already left this summer. Not all my iris, don't panic, just the used to be veggie garden area iris. Then I used one section of daylilies to fill in the empty spots in the front yard. That really got me wanting to move those other two groupings of daylilies once that first grouping was outta there. So I thought and thought about it. Decided they would go in a section of front yard. Moved two roses and then dug and tossed the other few struggling roses already there. Dug out aszalea shrub. Putting in four rows of daylilies. Partially done. Then bulbs will go in between like I do in my other daylily sections.

But this gives me quite a bit of space back for the veggie garden. From veggie garden to daylily garden and now back to veggie garden. I don't know what I was thinking when I thought I could do without the veggie space. You all know I want my veggies. And I will not have to part with any daylilies as they all should fit in the new space.
