I planted hybrid daylily assortment on large front yard hill to avoid having to mow this steep hill. I started it about 10 years ago. It looked gorgeous for many years. However, having babies, being busy yada yada yada....I have let it go!

I am embarrassed by how bad and overgrown with weeds it looks! I want to do whatever I have to do to make it look nice again.

But I don't know where to start. The area is roughly 30 feet long by 10 feet wide. I am including an OLD picture of it.

I know thistle is the worst culprit. There is also something else tall and bushy growing that I can photograph if necessary. I did a bad thing and tried to kill the weeds with round up. Some spray spread to my lilies and damaged some growth.

I need to get out there this coming fall and do what I need to make this garden area beautiful again. BUT I NEED ADVICE on how to do it and what to use. My husband has offered to help me with this. We can get free mulch from the city along with leaf mold (if that helps)

THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER ME!
