Hi
@DancingGenes
I don't know, my whole property is SO completely sopping wet now
and more rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow
. Started to make me wonder if I made a BIG mistake trying to make beds here for dalylilies. I've bounced back somewhat today because after inspecting things actually most of the beds are doing OK.
One bed is definitely a problem. I pulled out one of the new daylilies and roots are in standing water:
I could mound this area up another 4-5 inches or so but not sure that would be enough. I might be able to install a drain tile here and connect it to the one I have draining my vegetable garden, but it would not be deep enough to do a great job. I have to think hard about this. This situation is definitely raining on my parade.
Found out yesterday that my second daylily order is being shipped on Monday so we'll see if I am going to have to plant in slop or maybe I temporarily pot them.
