I would like to know how others in zone 4 handle all the foliage in the fall, and how early you do it. I like to cut my daylily foliage down to about 12 " around the end of September, and then I clean up the remainder in the spring. I want to get it cleaned up so I can put our oak leaves around the plants as we rake them up. Is this too early, and what does everyone else do. I would also like to know if you fertilize at this time.
Thanks for the input!!!!
