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.

Surprises in the garden

11 months ago

Its been a busy couple of weeks getting plants planted or moved. All the new to my garden daylilies arrived and planted in the new space and doing good so far. I moved out to the new bed space 4 so far. Yesterday while out at Tractor Supply I spotted some very nice large pots of Lavender plants so of course I had to buy a couple.The deer so far have not touched any of my lavender plants that I've had here since we moved in. Knock on wood.


One of two surprises I had when cleaning and prepping the gardens was I found that Spring Mystique sent up a scape. It was the only daylily that did not bloom during its "normal" bloom time. Maybe I'll get to see it blooms before the first frost. The second surprise was Boundless Beauty has 2 rebloom)?) scapes coming up. I doubt I'll see it bloom given they are just starting to come up.

Boundless Beauty



Still lots more work to get done but I'm learning to pace myself. And just for fun, here is another garden visitor that showed up the other day. Not sure if this is a he or she.

    Yesterday I found another daylily that had a scape coming up so I had to remove the top of the cloche. This is Busy Being Fabulous.

    I think all this rain we've had over the last couple of days is restarting the garden. Today we are suppose to start a period of sunny weather again.
