You must be in the same zone as we are and it does vary by zone. Over the years I've been able to take field divisions successfuly at any time of the year. I do avoid the height of summer if I have a choice because of water issues. IMHO for the west coast I'd say early fall is the "best" time and anywhere else in the US I'd say spring season after the last frost. The division needs time to recover before winter or the heat of summer sets in. A successful field division has more new culms (at least one season new but not brand new) than old and is usually taken from the perimeter of the grove. Old culms with old rhizomes in my experience don't recover and produce like they should, sometimes not at all as a matter of fact. Splitting and potting up divisions are best accomplished in the spring after shooting is finished. This is only my opinion. I have to give into my desire to have a greenhouse so I can do it all year!

Swontgirl, it's a good point you brought up and I didn't mean to neglect your reply. The more I grow, the more I read, the more I learn and the point of my question in the first place. I realize it's the 'norm' but 2 fan divisions are foreign to me. I know specific cultivars are quicker to multiply but I've rarely had to divide daylilies out of absolute necessity. Two fans is a slow start, a daylily that doesn't have clump appeal is something I don't want. Everything I've chosen for myself in recent years was something I saw in person with that trait. I'm dividing some 4 year olds this year but only two out of need, the rest will be thinned for accent plants and gifting purposes. Buying unknowns I'd prefer a little more substance given the option, I'm not doing $150 cultivars much less buying for hybridizing. I've yet to grow a daylily with increase that outruns me, a lackluster clump meets Mr. Spade... I've nearly maxxed out on several 'standard 2 fan' divisions from a few vendors. Curious to see what I receive and how they do. Three post-2000 intros lined up, more patience with them as they cost a tad more, hottest of the lot was down to $15 and I have higher hopes for it than the one that went $100 even. Fingers crossed, LOL. ~Wes

personally i feel discriminated. Did it ever occured to u that the majority of people who have criminal backgrounds are accused unjustly? did it ever occurr to u that the majority of these people were young at the time of the crime....and made bad mistakes without using their intelligence. we all make mistakes....the important thing is change.Everyone has the right of another chance...especially when u really want to change ur life around...i've never comitted no crime....but i'm married to a man who has a horrible past....criminal back ground...bad childhood...but if u meet him you'll notice that its impossible to believe that this man has done anything.My husband is a good father...a good friend....a good husband....and a good adopted son....he's not perfect...but he ain't the devil either...hes just made bad choices....i don't blame him because of his childhood...but i don't see what hes done....cute. i understand him...this man has changed his life around....he has lost so much....but he has gained as well...i believe god gave him an opportunity because hes sees what inside of this mans heart...who are we to judge so blindly...the most sad thing about this is that because of what hes done in his past....we are having trouble finding a house to rent....i've been through so much with this man to know what this man is really about...and i don't understand how naive people can be to just sit there and judge...instead of sitting down and try to find out what exactly is going on.we are good tenants alwayz have been, just trying to give a better life for our two children.....so before u decline someone, take the time to think how would you feel if someone rejected you without hearing your side first...because when i look at the eyes of this man it hurts me to know that its killing him and hes feeling unworthy...and he is worth much more than what people think..

hmmm...Well, I can relate to this on several levels; as a LL who has AT&T Uverse and who was once a single woman. ;) From the perspective of a young single woman, yes, I personally would be very uncomfortable finding this. I too would wonder if this was an accidental oversight containing TMI or an intentional hint. As an AT&T Uverse subscriber I've learned a few things. Things get taped by accident. Have done it myself, just recently, when I wanted to tape one of my favorite Jane Austen movies and hit the red Record button on the remote right before the movie aired. But the highlighted bar was one channel up on the Guide. I was only half paying attention so accidentally taped the wrong thing. Also I've found the 30 minute nightly local news on DVR (twice), and when I asked DH why he was recording the news he met my funny look with a funny look of his own. Figured out there's a program DH has set on 'Record Series', it airs on the adjacent channel to the news, same time at night, same 30 minute span. Have no idea how but something goofed up and it caught the adjacent news programming too. Also, it's very easy to forget, especially early on in subscribing, that what is taped on one tv is available for viewing on all sets in the house. Even if accidental recording does happen, which they might have encountered, they still should know to be careful. It's not like porn channels are randomly mixed in with others. (We don't subscribe but I'm concluding it's in the very high channel numbers, beyond premium movies and far away from family-friendly viewing.) Channels are in groups by like kind. So where our mishaps occurred with immediately adjacent channels, if something similar happened in the couple's house the TV would have already had to be in that channel range. Porn ain't located next to Disney or CNN. ;) Last but not least, I can definitely attest that our experience with AT&T is glitches happen. A lot. But that's the only benefit of the doubt I'll offer the LLs in this situation. Because there are levels of discomfort certain situations and unwanted or unsolicited attention can bring to a woman, particularly a young one, and it's not fun to deal with. Not at work, not socially, and definitely not at home as in your friend's situation. From a LL's perspective, that couple needs to be on their toes. (Being a law student the male particularly should know this.) Like it or not, they are now in a legally binding contract in their own home, which should offer your friend the right to peaceful and quiet enjoyment. Even if not spelled out in Lease language it still easily could be included in your State's LL/tenant legislation. Tho it would be difficult to prove, if it was intentional and not an oversight, that behavior could be viewed as harassment. (And if it was intentional, it will appear again. Either verbally with inappropriate words or with the obviously inappropriate wandering eye or crossing bounds physical contact. IME, having worked around a few real creeps in office settings, they have almost zero self control and won't hide their behavior or unwanted advances. If your friend is uncomfortable she should listen to her gut.) Your friend can check a couple things out easily enough. I only look for evictions or property judgments, but find the sum total of all records on file can paint a behavioral portrait of an individual. I would absolutely check the sex offender's database for your state. (Not just about children, many include crimes against women, public indecency, etc.) This is a national list. It's a place to start but I'd rely more on local lists as they are probably more up to date. (google "[your state name] sex offender registry") Another thing your friend can check is local public court dockets. Most are online now. Just go to your county government's web site and look for the court house area. Check both criminal and civil divisions if separate. (Other municipalities too, for instance if they happened to mention a hometown located elsewhere.) Most sites don't require a SS#, just a full name will often bring up results. Hopefully nothing weird will turn up on either of them. So what to do from here? Keep an eye on things for sure. I had a friend who liked to say 'once is a mistake, twice is a habit'. I'm concluding although the lease was signed your friend was not moved in yet when the recording was done. If it happens again now that she's physically there, I'd see red flags. The physical presence of a new occupant in the house is enough of a mental trigger for the couple that the entire place is no longer their domain. Time to keep their private hobbies to themselves. It's a no-brainer and the lawyer-to-be most especially should know better. Let us know what happens?
