A-w-e-s-o-m-e!! Thanks so much, Betty, we have such similar climates that I will go ahead and let the fun begin outdoors. My gut tells me they are ready, and the overnight temps around 50 are here. WooHoo!!
I estimate I have about 200-300 seeds sprouting, and the only problem with them is finding space to put them all until they mature LOL ... I took encouragement from everyone, though, and hubby is already digging up a 12x15 space in the front/side yard for some of them. Really, grass lawns are such a nuisance, and daylilies such good filler ... i'm hoping we just keep tearing up more lawn as the years pass and more seedlings flourish.
I can't wait to see what lovelies you find in your 400 this summer! Best of luck to them and you for some amazing flower faces!
