What I have been doing!!!

18 years ago

I haven't been here for a few days and this is why. We are still working on the clean up but if you notice this tree is very full and was about 50 feet tall. it was taking all of the sunlight from my daylily beds and the flower beds too. Nothing could grow because of the roots and the shade. Hopefully, this will change things as it is really light in the area now. Also a few reblooms!!Ellie

    You have to have vision. This could be that area in a few years.

    Great post of reblooms

    Thanks

    Oh Tom, why did ya doit? Now I want some of your dls I see in that pic. The UF's in the foreground. Wow! What a beautiful garden. I do have the vision but am not sure I have the energy...Thanks for posting the pic..

    Mona, I do really like SW. The longer I have her, the better I like her and she been with me several years.. RFTQ has a very pretty bloom but doesn't bloom as well for me. This is re bloom though and maybe now she will shape up.

    Thanks to both of you for looking at my pix...Ellie

    You have been very busy with all that tree to remove. Did you get any rain today? We got almost 2 inches! WOW, haven't seen that much in a while.
    Now for the good stuff....I want Time Drifter...that's the prettiest pink dl I've seen in a long time. Just beautiful. So are the others, but I just keep going back to TD, I love it. BTW, thanks for posting your pic of SS on my thread. I sure hope she shapes up for me next season, or rather, colors up!! :)
    Thanks for the photos.

    Ellie,

    I don't envy you your tree project...you really have no concept of how much work that is until you have been there. But I'm sure that just the thought of how much more light and water your plants were going to get was enough to keep you going!

    I must be in the mood for pure and soothing tones tonight, as that is what my favorites are leaning too in all the posts I look at. Your pics of Time Drifter and Susan Weber are just stunning.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Didn't mean to mislead you guys. No that is not a picture of my back yard. My intent was to show what you could to with that new area you are developing.

    That's is a picture I took during a visit with a friend and seller in SC. This was taken in the back 40 of Memory Jordan's garden and yes I was also in love with her soil.

    Ellie you have so many great daylilies and your reblooms are outstanding. Keep posting them.

    Lots of work to get that big tree out but the result will be so much worth it. More room for daylilies and no tree roots or shading. Yes, I would say deffinately a great idea to remove that tree.

    I know what it's like to remove a tree and all the debris after it's been cut down, (or struck down during a storm.) But how wonderful to have more light and less root competition for your plants!
    Be careful, and don't overdo the muscles and back!

    I hope to add Golden Tentacles to my garden some day.

    Thanks for sharing!

    That's a lot of work but your daylilies must be so happy to have more sun. I love Time Drifter - I looked it up and it's another by Pat Stamile - he does such wonderful pinks! Do you have a favorite pink Stamile? Also really like your photo of Susan Weber - mine took a while to settle in but is looking so nice this year too.

    Great! Now you have more room!

    I wondered where you were Miz Ellie. Now your DLs and other flowers will be happy.
    Your DLs are so pretty. Robes For The Queen is very special. I have nothing to compare with it.
    Thanks for sharing. Jane
