I also was just enlightened by the Whatley article. I have limited space to grow daylilies on my residential lot. In his article, he mentioned growing seeds/young seedlings 4" apart in rows that are 5" apart. Mine have a lot more space around them than that! Is that really possible AND practical to grow them that close?

Though in looking at my garden, I may have done something very similar to that in my newest daylily bed. Nice, neat rows that are fairly close together. It sure makes figuring out what is what in that particular bed much easier .... as I also map each of my seedlings in my beds in addition to labeling each of them with a code. This is causing me to rethink my grow-out strategy! The hardest part for me will be the culling. I've yet to do that .... (sigh)
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
