Gail, I am interested in your daylily seedlings I have the new enchincea's and also new lily bulbs plmk which daylily seedling you have aval

Hi Gayle, I have some named and un-named daffodils if you are interested. They are blooming now so I can take some pictures. Also I have some reticulata iris and a seedling of "rose queen" japanese iris. I have some rooted roses, I will have to check what I have that is ready to trade. Let me know if you are interested in trading. Kathy

I should have mentioned, these are for postage. Also have Autumn Red, Purple waters, & some yellow that might be Stella d'oro, but they have not rebloomed. They've been in place for a long time, so could be because they need dividing. Smaller amounts of Little Grapette & maybe another one or 2.

Petalpatsy - what do you mean by growth medium? I see your seedling bed is on a steeper slope than mine, so maybe it won't be as dire as my hubby predicts. (The more daylilies I have, the less he likes them.) Why do you suggest greensand? What are the benefits of it? How close do you plant your baby seedlings? Would 12" be O.K.? I planted about half of last year's seedlings that close, and now I've got to move them. The other half I spaced at 2' intervals and they have really multiplied, although they are just a year old. The bed is 30' by 100' - a little much for me to handle with a fork. Cynthia, I do like that U-Bar fork - that looks like a great idea - haven't seen one like that. greenbean, thanks for the info on the San Angelo bar, because we do have some bare spots on our clay hill upon which nothing will grow -- not even weeds. BTW, I used to live in San Angelo, too - many years ago. My dad was the resident engineer (Corps of Engineers) over the construction of the SA Dam and Reservoir. We lived out by the site. I remember the tarantulas, and especially those little red velvet spiders that used to come out after rains. I've never seen them anywhere else in Texas. I also remember my mother sending me out in the winter to hang the wash on the clothesline. The bed linens and towels would be frozen stiff within a minute or two. In the summer, there were no ACs back then, just evaporative coolers. Our local landscaper returned my call today -- he told us to scarify the plot with the teeth on a box blade, running it in all directions, including diagonally. He said that had to be done first, before using a disk. My helper got that done this afternoon. Now I have a nice big garden spot with very black gummy soil. He also told me to add gypsum. I hope it doesn't rain before we can get it disked.
