It is a strange thing but my topside middle back garden bed used to be all veggies. Was actually my biggest veggie bed. After I got the daylily crazies I filled up various ornamental beds with daylilies and then when I just HAD to have more took both ends of the veggie garden back there. That worked fine but eventually I took the middle too and no more veggies there. I loved the way it looked in flowers but I knew I would regret the lack of extra room for veggies. Yup, afew years and that space started to be converted back to a veggie garden again.
So now I am looking to see how I can expand to add another row for cucumbers. The land is there but that end has a daylily garden. I don't want to part with those daylilies, they are among my favorites. So have been thinking what to do.
I think I will relocate one entire row (the one directly in contact with the veggie garden) into the daylily garden at the other end. There is room there even if it will be difficult to actually work there.
I will have to wait until the serviceberries are done as I will have to cut the shrubs back in order to give myself room. After I do that I can see what else needs moving and hopefully just shift it over into empty spots more along the edge of the garden. Sounds like a lot of work and it will be but I think it might work.
Then I can shift one cucumber row all the way over and put another at the opposite end.
