The last red daylily of the 2020 season in our garden bloomed yesterday.
Other daylilies have already wrapped up or are wrapping up.
Our attention remains on their beauty, both this year and in future years, and also turns to the potential of the gardens around us. It is time to start planning to “dig and divide” – a good thing.
Friday a fellow gardener and I walked the association with the purpose of planning the plantings for the final projects this year. In that discussion, the topic came up of what divisions from our garden will go to other gardens. My friend has a saying, “We garden for others”. There is wisdom in that perspective. Gardening fills our mind and gives us hundreds of happy hours each year, and part of that is because it gets us thinking of what others may enjoy.
This year we are dividing some of our “Blue Mouse Ears” from the garden here and giving them new homes when we rehab the Welcome Garden. Another hosta, an “Elegans” is being divided and going into a neighboring homeowner’s garden. Our garden stays fit and trim, our association’s landscaper does the heavy lifting of digging and dividing 😊, and if I make room, I get the opportunity to consider what new (ahem daylily) additions make sense to introduce next year 😊😊.
