My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Compost and mulch

10 years ago

Do you have a favorite compost and mulch for your daylilies?

When planting, I normally use compost and Black Kow but I think I'm going to skip the Black Kow tomorrow.

    Ruth, I am getting rid of about a dozen plant...maybe more. Nothing wrong with them, I just don't love them, and I have some new ones I am planting. Looks like I am going to have to have some sort of surgery on my knee, so I have been frantically working out there. Donna Jack, Esprit de Corp, Ballerina Beautiful, Bubble Yummin Momma are some of the ones moving out.
