Cindy, I like your resolution. Downsizing is something that we NEED to do. This year I plan to seriously look at daylilies to start moving out. I want to be able to enjoy our daylilies instead of having so much work to do when they are blooming. I want to hybridize and have no time for that. Our garden will be on the Region 5 Spring Tour this June and then a tour garden for the 2015 National. Much of our time will be spent getting the garden ready for these tours and just maintaining it. Once we get through the National, I want to do a major downsize (at least 500 daylilies). We have lots of hosta and other shade plants in pots to plant this spring. If I can get all that planted this spring, I will feel that I have accomplished a lot. We want to get three or four terraced walls built once the weather cooperates and we can find someone to build the walls. They were terraced last April and now the walls must be built (with crossties). I can't plant anything in these areas until the walls are built. I feel the clock ticking away on this project. We are planning to swap out the Castle Wall blocks with real stacking rock for a raised bed put in last winter. Once early spring (March) gets here I will have much work to do in other areas, namely fertilizing and mulching the daylilies. David will be around to help more in 2014! I guess my resolution is to start the downsizing process, get done what we can, and not stress over what does not get done in 2014. What would we do in 2015 if we got everything done in 2014? Don't ask!
