If you know someone that would like a catalog. email me
The new website is still under construction, but it’s coming along nicely.

| Todays theme is rich dark compost soil. We add lots of compost when we plant our daylilies. Here Anwyn, barefoot, plants newly divided daylilies in rich fluffy just rototilled soil. |

An ample hole for each daylily is important. While it’s surprising how small a hole a daylily can be succesfully planted in, a larger hole to spread out the roots will ensure quicker recovery.

We have one source of compost that is produced virtually weed free. We use these for our vegetables and new seedlings.

This is a nice cross section of daylily colors. In the back Mohawk Chief produces masses of tall clear yellow blooms. In the middle is Olallie Nikki’s Song, is a nice creamy yellow. And in the front Purple Giant.

| Yet another non daylily picture. In the front, Dahlias (from seed Baker Creek), some Verbena bonariensis (purple on right) and a red leafed Amaranth in the back. I’ll be growing these again this season! I dug up the Dalia tubers and I’m overwintering them in my basement. But I was surprised at how well seedling grown Dahlias bloomed too. I collected Verbena bonariensis seeds and I still have Amaranth seeds left over from last year.
If you keep seeds in a cool dry place over the winter, they’ll typically be good for several years. |

| Dante, is part of the pack. Though a bit aloof, he really feels he needs to be part of what’s going on. I’m sure he can’t wait for warmer weather. |
