I have gotten in the moving and shovel pruning mood myself Rita. I have tried my hand at some other perennials since daylilies don't bloom nearly long enough but have started getting rid of them and plan on adding more daylilies. They are so effortless compared to other plants. I wanted to try some lupines thanks to you but the few I ordered this year have dried up to a crispy crunch! grrr...... I reckon its its just tooooo hot here. Good luck on all the rebloom scapes. I think mine are finished for good this year except the Happy Returns. Judy

Daylilies are easy plants. Since you wanted a longer bloom period and now looking to add back daylilies, I would suggest you get late and extra late bloomers. That will really lengthen the bloom period. Look at me, I am still posting blooms in mid August.

Rita,
Do you remember when some of the locals told you that you would never get rebloom on Long Island? I guess you fooled them.

Well, I would not hold up EARLY AND OFTEN as a great rebloomer considering as it has never rebloomed before.

I don't really get that much rebloom that one can easily notice here. I DO get lots of instant rebloomers that put up the second scape so fast that the daylilies are double scaped but what you see is a ton of blooms. I would rather they be not so double scaped and let me notice the rebloom. On the double scaped ones unless I am on a quest to see were the scapes come out of the fans so I can report on rebloom, I just find them when they are done and I am cutting scapes. Then I see the two scapes coming from the same fan. And this is something that happens a lot here.

I don't really want them to go on vacation and wait. But if the first scape was tall and blooming and then you see the second scape emerging that would be good and perfect. When I talk about double scaped the two scapes are the same size and bloom at the same time. It is, of course, a form of instant rebloom and my rebloomers do this a lot. But it just looks like a clump with a lot of scapes.

Go Rita, GO!

Sounds like you did a fair amount of work to me!

Hey, Rita, great news about the rebloom scapes. I hope all the buds are able to develop and give you a longer bloom season. This means more pictures for us who are daylily deprived at this time. Avedon

Hundreds of daylilies here, you would think there might be more than two with rebloom scapes :-(

I will try and get more daylilies moved today.

I have days like that. Walk around and think about what I want to do, then go back in the house and it doesn't get done:) This summer has been a drag up until now, so maybe something will get done now that the weather cooled a little bit...

Talk about a lazy day, I only moved three daylilies today and shovel prunned two. I had planned on getting more than that done today but guess not. Tomorrow I am not going to be digging in the garden as I have some other things I have to do so maybe I get back on the moving projects by Friday. We will see.

You deserve a light day,Rita. What you do on a lazy day would be a good day for me probably. My attention is easily distracted from what I intend to do. I did pretty well today, but not much in the garden. Some much needed weeding, cleaned part of the garage (VERY needed), & canned some pears. Our pear trees are having a really good year, & I do hate to toss them. I have made preserves, pear honey, & now canned pears. I made a couple of pear cobblers, given so many pears to my friends they turn & run when they see me now.

The weather here has been nice and not too hot so I have been back to working lots in the garden. Geez, when we had that aweful 100 degree spell I couldn't even think of doing garden work.

Vickie, no matter how much gets done there is always more gardening to do.

Nancy, canning wow. That HAS to be a major amount of work. I am not that domestic or movated LOL!
