Celebrating Gardening: 2015
well today is the day the cloth beds are all set up and the soil put in and then the rest of the bulbs will go in for the lilies. will likely be a couple of days to get all this done but the question I have is an odd one to say the least

first of all the plan was to have a big elevated bed at the other side of the house made out of pressure treated lumber and so on. Since I was not going to get it done on time.....to plant my bulbs..... the lilies went into pots....... some of them not all of them though. A lot of the potted lilies are my species lilies..

Now the beds will be set up today ..........what do I do with the potted lilies. I was told you can plant them into the garden at any time ......after they are potted but they are not up as of yet and do not want to break the tips when they are put into the big bed....

what is the best way to do this?? wait till fall and then transplant the pots into the big bed?? there are about 24 plus pots out there and lots of money invested....so not sure what to do here...... they were already sprouting when I planted the lilies 6 inches deep.......and that was a couple of weeks ago now.......so I am sure they are up even more now with the warmer temps we have been getting. New week we are really warm here........... this week it is a bit cooler....
also next week is calling for lots of rain on and off........ warm rain.

lets here your wisdom.....I am sure that this has come up before somewhere........
