What I did this weekend

Along with a GIANT list of "have to do" items ... I did some work in the one daylily bed that surrounds the deck.

I divided a large clump of Pleasant Hours and turned it into eight clumps. It blooms early

I divided a large clump of that unknown Orange Sherbet colored daylily into about six clumps. It blooms late

I split my Prairie Moonlight into two large clumps It blooms in the mid season

I raised the level of that daylily bed with good compost up about a full two inches ...

It's been a productive weekend of gardening!

Sound like a lot of work......That first picture sure looks like my un-named daylily.

Thanks for the pictures! Can't wait till things start blooming here!

Wow! You guys were as busy as most here! I couldn't believe how busy the home depot and farm place were this weekend! You'd thing spring had sprung! LOL

That walk and deck view will be great! I need to do that to some of the old clumps and it's just not high on that never ending list of things to do that didn't get done last fall

Better get a move on to catch up with you all!

This is a view off the back deck taken earlier ... I'm still in clean up mode so excuse the mess. The entire backyard garden is designed as a 1920s city farm stead

Jane,
That's a Rip Van Winkle daffodil and it's the ONLYONE blooming because it's on the south side of the house where it's warmer ... it's always early sometimes opening when there's snow.
I have some kauffmania tulips that also bloom really early

Helen,
nice garden! I have some daff's and hyacinths blooming.
And my Fritillaria Uva - Vulpis are blooming. Here is a picture.

All my Allium and Fritillaria bulbs are in the same bed as my Daylilies. Gives the bed a little early growth and color.

Cool!
I have some new yellow daffodils blooming and the English wood hyacinth ... these are in the front oval bed where the Stella D'Oros are. makes for an interesting transition ..

Tundra Queen ...
Nooooo not yet ... those are pictures of the daylilies taken last year that I moved and divided ... I'm a loooooooooong way from having daylilies bloom ... at least another month unless these high 60 degree F. days continue...
