OK, daylilies are not growing here as yet, just sorry looking daylily beds with no green showing at all. Nothing. Many of these daylily beds are ones where I planted many of my 4,999 bulbs I put in last fall but in spite of saying that daffs and tulips are up on my garden (they are) those would be ones I have had in my garden prior and not the ones from last fall. And then I always mulch my garden heavily in the fall. This year I was late doing that because of the planting of the bulbs but finially did do so in early December. So really my daylily beds look like a sea of brown leaves with pretty much nothing growing.

About tomatoes. With my tomato crazies last year I bought a lot of tomato seed so that I could start my own tomato plants. But I was all up for it last fall, now it is time to start them and I don't feel like starting tomato seeds. I have always just gone and bought plants. We have a local nursery here that has a fabulous selection of tomato seedlings.

But I do have my brocoli and pea seeds ready to plant but the weather is just not co-operating. I intend to plant lots of sugar snap peas this spring and peas are an early crop. You get them in late enough so that the seeds will germinate and not rot in the ground but early enough that they produce before the hot weather arrives. Peas don't do well in heat and just shrivel up and die.

On the subject of planting in with your daylilies, peas are going in my terraces garden in the mid terrace in back of the daylilies. And tomato plants are going in the back of parts of the driveway side bed which is mostly daylilies. I had tomatoes there before (last year) and it turned out well.

Plus I have great plans for my veggie gardens and tomato beds this year having enlarged them last fall after I put in new ones last spring. And I did moving of some plants so that I could squeeze in lots of veggies this year.

Racoons fight here every night. In the summer with the windows open I can really hear them haveing a squabble many a time. Sometimes it sounds bad, like they are really going at it!

I am thinking of trying these this year Dwarf Gray Sugar Peas have broad pale green 3-4" pods that are stringless and free
of fiber, well suited for steaming or stir-fry. Beautiful purple bi-colored blossoms - vines grow 24-30" - no need to stake. They sound good I would put them in pots if I try them.

I have grown both sugar snap and snow peas in pots. They do great in pots. In fact I will have peas in pots this spring also as well as in ground.

I love the taller vining peas as they are easy to pick, no bending required. I just put bamboo teepees in amoung them.

I do grow my peas right beside my daylily bed... I mean a foot away! I grow the sugar snap peas. Ordered a new kind this year. "Sugar Sprint" and also the old Mammoth Melting Sugar Snow Pea. I grow them on cow/horse fence made into 2 foot circles and they are right beside the daylilies. I have to keep putting the peas on the fence, or they would be growing up the daylily scapes.

One last comment about how threads wander -- this is actually a thread that I split off of another thread.

I am curious about what other veggies could be put in with daylilies. Mainly early things, unless they were vines put on some sort of trellis or fence.

Carrotts, beets? Radishes or dill for sure. Onion sets, chives also, Maybe things like parsley.
