Joy, you have quite a job ahead of you. It will take a long time to get your beds ready and then plant. Just remember what I have told myself numerous time, "Rome was not built in a day". With each one planted, it is one less to plant. These plantings will be permanent, unless you decide to dig any up to move or get rid of. It is good that you are not going to shoot for planting all 1000 in one year. It will be easier to take care of 500 in pots instead of a 1000 for one year. You have some beautiful daylilies that make great pictures.
