Charting My Daylily Beds
Comments (3)Very nice! I've seen that type of "charting" done by someone on the Hosta forum, which works successfully for them. So far, I've kept my plantings charted on a graph (Excell), and I have some beds with other perennials planted with the DL's, also add an occasional garden ornament as an anchor point to measure/count from. However, I have created some new seedling beds that my dog and her friend, the neighbor's dog, run through, and topple the markers. I like your photo ID chart, and may well use it in the future. Thanks for sharing your idea! Julie...See MoreBackyard daylily and Iris bed pictures
Comments (13)I went earlier today to the real nursery and bought ten bags of their good topsoil and five bags of their good compost. I could have gone to Home Depot and get cheeper but inferier product. Plus the nusery loads my car just like that and you have to struggle at home depot. Then when I got home I put out the topsoil first and spread it out and then the compost spread out on top. I wish I had thought of taking pictures of the bags all ready laid along the garden to be emptied but all I wanted to do was get it filled with my bagged goodies. Did take after pictures of the empty bags laying around and the iris garden now full of good soil and compost the way I wanted it. Its pretty much leveled out but I will let it sit overnight and tweek any imperfections tomorrow. I have pictures of it now but too tired to download. So will download after I take tomorrows daylily shots and post my update pictures then....See MoreDaylily beds and more (pics)
Comments (17)I plant closely for two reasons- #1- I like the way things look in a riot of color. None of this one bloom here and there look for me. #2- I don't have the room here to plant everything I would like and spread out. Smaller spaces have to give me everthing I want and that means plant close. Its not just my daylilies. My roses break every rule in the book, or I should say my way of planting with the spacing so close that they grow together and intermingle with each other when blooming. Makes for a riot of color and I have learned how to do this by staying away from roses that have to spraul and take up too much room. I just don't grow them....See MoreRe-doing both big daylily beds completely! Aack!
Comments (4)I feel your pain Natanya, Not because I am moving all of the front bed, but I am moving out about a dozen and replacing them with new ones. Plus a few have overgrown their space, so I have some work to do. Several of my new ones are Emmerich intros, so they may do well even their first year. kay...See MoreBlueberryBundtcake - 6a/5b MA
