No blooms here, but hopefully next year I will see some late bloomers.
I spent several weekends building, painting, filling with pine fines & soil, and planting my newest acquired daylilies. I went from having NO named & registered daylilies to now having 49 ... all were obtained within the past year (with most of them received this Spring & Summer with a few others received recently this Fall).
First let me say I was amazed at the root growth and the additional fans that have appeared since I received most of these daylilies. They have all been growing in nursery pots (some for almost a year in those pots).
Here's the potted daylilies sitting in their new raised beds:
This is the larger raised bed. Yes! I did squeeze 41 daylilies in that bed and I know I will regret it, but what's a gardener to do when they don't have a lot of property?!
This is the smaller raised bed in front of my vertical herb garden. (I squeezed 8 daylilies in this bed!) I wonder if I could make a vertical daylily garden? Hmmmm .... might be a possibility!
This is what most all of the daylily's roots looked like except the very newest acquired plants:
After the daylilies were planted it rained! Perfect timing! This bed is a key-hole raised bed.
The smaller raised bed:
These two raised beds were made using concrete pavers turned on their sides and adhered together with construction adhesive. I avoid wood for the frame of raised beds because it rots here in Florida in no time at all. Plus there are termites and carpenter ants. I've decided I only want to make these beds .... ONCE!!!!
