So it's mid-August and I've moved less than 100 daylilies. Part of the delay was when we rototilled and found 100% clay only about 6 inches down. So we've added 10 yards of composted manure to the beds so far, and may add more to raise the beds a bit and improve tilth. Luckily, I have a paid helper in Pittsburgh who has done most of the heavy work.
Todaylily is the blog of Terry Oates, past President of Garden State Daylily Growers Club in New Jersey. Terry has since moved from Philadelphia to Verona, PA (Pittsburgh) where he's hybridizing stippled (dotted) and striped daylilies because he likes weird stuff.
