Becky--Thank you. To be honest, I am so busy working outside when the daylilies are blooming and rushing to get as many pictures taken of blooms before the sun gets too high to really enjoy the blooms. We really need to downsize the number of daylilies that we have and get to where we have time to enjoy them. One day, maybe...

Michele---You are busy taking care of your daylilies and James Hall's. I am amazed at what all you get done! You do the work of at least two people. And then, you take the time to post pictures and offer advice to all of us here.

Frilly---David will tell you that I am always looking for bargains and checking out the clearance items. We start small and wait for plants to grow. Rooted cuttings save money. We give each other gifts of plants or garden related "tools" for birthdays and Christmas. My wish for Christmas was a tubeless tire wheel barrow. Often times our children give us gift cards to Lowe's and Home Depot. David loads and hauls in composted horse manure. We get free wood chips delivered from a local tree service. Then David wheelbarrows them to cover our pathways. After the wood chips have broken down over a couple of years, he shovels them up and wheelbarrows them to a new flowerbed. (See why I wanted a tubeless tire wheel barrow!) We are always looking for ways to stretch a dollar and save money. And, I hope that your hemlock perks up and does not have what ours had.

Betty---Thank you. I'll try to post more pictures from another spring.
