I am ready for spring too, seems like it will get worse before it gets better. I know I will be looking for plants this year. I mulched well this year, that usually means I lose a few tags. I move some around every year too, and tags fail to travel with them, so I know I will be looking at some plants this year scratching my head. Part of the fun though! |

I was just out looking at plants the other day, and already this early in the season I found three that did not have a tag. Went back and put a tag on Orange Velvet and found the original one. I also laid the mulch on heavy this year. |

![]() Good luck with your goal of labeling. I have 99% of mine labeled but sometimes a label is damaged or fads away so I recommend coming up with a written diagram of your garden layout. I think you'll find the Daylily forum a wonderful place to pass the doldrums of the winter months. Lots of friendly folks, sage advice, "Enablers" of Daylily fans or suggestion, photos to drool over etc. etc. Again, welcome and get ready for the addiction, umm I mean love of Daylily's to worsen. ![]() |

![]() With an actual temperature right now here of -21C (-6F) and a windchill of -26C (-16F) and about three months yet before any daylily noses are likely to venture out of the ground, I'm certainly among those who are sooooo ready for spring! Although a more practical wish would probably be for some snow to cover up the daylilies because right now there is very little on the ground to insulate them. They've been through it all before though, so I'm only really concerned about some new arrivals last year. |

I was just out planting two new arrivals. Last night we were down to 31 F but back up into the forties tonight and then slowly climbing back into the upper thirty's, forties and 50's again for night time lows, no more freezing insight for a while. I mulched the plants and I expect them to start growing on days the weather is warmer. It is suppose to rain tomorrow so I wanted to get them in the ground. I had to get the ax out and chop out some remaining Crepe Myrtle roots but they needed to be removed anyhow. This is a great time of year here to be doing all the prep work for new beds. October was my favorite month of the year, this year is has to be December and January, the weather has been so nice, with the exception of about 10 days of rain in a row. |

So, is it like spring for you now, Larry? How nice in a way. It hasn't been a bad winter here so far. I'm really enjoying this break from all the heat stroke, weeding, mowing, mosquitoes, and digging holes. You're a guy, tho. You can take it ![]() I are sooooo smart! |

It seems like spring most days, but it is actually winter and some years it is freezing cold but not so far this year. |
