Ask away, no problem - we're glad to help if we can. Do you have such a thing there as a milk crate? I have kept small plants in one of those to allow them to be outdoors but protected from animals. It can also be easily carried indoors for the night if necessary although your current temperatures at night are plenty warm enough for daylilies. I can't post a picture right now if you're not sure what I mean, but can take one tomorrow if necessary.
