I am known for keeping plants in pots for years before finding a place to plant them.  So for most of my friends it is no surprise that I am sacrificing my vegetable garden for plants I have no place for at the moment.  The "kitchen garden" is now officially called the "holding garden". 

I still have room for a few more flower beds and so I have decided to keep a collection of daylilies and a few roses in a holding zone until the bed can be built.  Which may be a year or 2 because for me a bed can not be simple.  Oh no,  it has to be a production, hence that it might be a year or 2 before I can afford to do it.  LOL.  Besides that and there are a whole number of things I want to do to my garden.  I just never know where to begin.  New front walk, curbside/parking bed, hallway garden, more edging, less edging, more shrubs, less shrubs...it goes on and on. 

Due to all of my wants, I am constantly adding plants and moving existing plants in the garden.  This can sometimes cause a problem of me having excess plants.  I have given plants away.  I've also traded plants for plants, which doesn't actually help my situation of having too many plants. I have even been able to fill newly built beds with existing plants from my garden.  Sometimes I even have to kick some to the curb because of lack of space and need.

The daylilies and roses are going to be held here until needed.  I will not be growing vegetables here for the next few seasons but sometimes a gardeners got to do what a gardeners got to do.

The kitchen garden is now the holding garden.
