New beds

15 years ago

I thought I'd show some pics of my new daylily beds. These ones house some of my seedlings. The clay here is to hard for me to even get the shovel in so DH tilled it and we added lots of composted straw.

These last two are of two of my better seedlings, I think they get better with each flower that opens.

    Great job with the tilling and I like the straight edge added by the timber border. The finished product looks so nice and a great new daylily bed. I love the country setting too. It looks so pretty there.

    Your new bed is lovely! What fun! It sounds as if you prepared it really well too.

    Your seedlings are coming along nicely.

    What a pretty place you have, love the rail fence! Also like the pink seedling.

    Thanks everyone. The rail fence is a 'corral' we put in after buying the farm. Now we have a family picnic in it every fall. It wasn't planned for that but it worked out nicely. It will also be home to my other daylilies.

    That is very nice. Looks really bice with the daylilies and other flowers you have,and I like that rail fence, too.Wish I had one around my yard to keep the deer out.Your seedlings are really pretty, too.Your soil sounds like mine. Right now most of my yard is like cement, its so hard.Can forget about digging in it.Some of my front yard is fenced in,as it was put up years ago for a little dog to be able to go outside.When it was no longer used for a dog, then I dug it up and added everything I could possibly think of to it, and have planted flowers in it for years,and the soil is still no good.

    I love the corral, such a charming setting! The daylilies already look good there but will be even better next year, but sure to show us some pictures!

    You look to have some nice wide open spaces and your new garden will fill in fast next year.

    Thanks everyone. I can't believe how fast the seedlings grew in the holding bed, you can hardly even see the soil! If they continue to grow that fast the new beds will be full next year. I still plan to move some lilies in there and plant some annuals next year but planning is fun isn't it? Now on to the next beds! Marg

    Marg ~ I am not a jealous person but I am seriously envious of your space! Love the fact you are sharing it with us tho! I can live vicariously through them!!! I want a farm more than life itself and at the rate I am going with my addiction, I need one SOON! Keep the pics coming! I have daylilies coming today (I hope) that will go in with my irises for this winter. I'll post pics when they get planted. :) I am just loving this addiction and must learn so much more from you pros about breeding my own babies!! Would you like a sheltie puppy? Lol

    Ginny, if I can hybridize so can you. It's so much fun waiting to see what your flower will look like. It also gets frustrating waiting, LOL, but it's worth it. I would love a pup but right now I have my hands full with my 2 Aussies. BTW, you need a farm to give your pups more room to run. Marg
