We have had days of 92 degrees with heat index near 100 in October .
This week a lady came to help me with the daylilys dividing them and
replanting some in different holes..
It took me about 3 days to trim leaves across , clean up debris and rake
mulch off the two flower beds and it took us 6 hours with one 5 minute break
to dig and reposition and divide them.
I got huge pieces of plastic and laid on the grass then laid each daylily clump with the marker
out on the plastic..
I think the cleanup is always so hard, to wash all the tools and return them
to the barn and clean the grass up well and then with your back breaking , try to get a shower
and just throw your clothes away.
due to the dirt on them and your garden gloves too.
I was organized and proud of that fact, but the work is just way too hard unless you are
totally healthy and about 20 years old ..LOL
Here was how we divided the daylilys in the photos attached
from the plants dug up and placed on the plastic, to the
dirty white slacks which went in the trashcan with the shoes and my gloves afterwards!
The newcomers on this site
they might get some ideas..hope so..
just look what you have to look forward to next May and June
when they begin to bloom!
Perhaps I will have forgotten all the pain that has lasted 4 days
from the digging and on my knees replanting...and cleanup!
