Sabrina - That fake grass sure looks green!
Too bad it was an expensive investment otherwise I'd say get rid of it and use that area for a garden. The yard layout of your condo is very nice with the stone walkway. And I can see where you are trying to squeeze in your daylilies. Garden space is very limited, so not sure where exactly you could grow those seedlings. Maybe plant the seeds in one of those pots on the walkway? You could grow them there and add other plants once the seedlings get bigger. If you get another mild winter, they should do fine in a pot. Otherwise, gift the seeds to someone else who have room to grow them.
Interesting to hear about your summer and winter odd weather change, too!
