Daylily order arrives

Today was a crazy day! Crazy full of gardening. Good stuff, but oh wow! Nothing like a daylily order arriving to set the weekend’s activities. Besides the weekly one side of weeding at the historic cemetery, four new holes got dug and brand new daylilies were planted – Red Volunteer (tetraploid) and Lullaby Baby (diploid, to cross with the two De Oros – Purple and Stella). Each hole also got daffodils too, to deter moles. Tomorrow it will be four Marque Moons (tetraploid, to cross with Red Volunteer). Then we shall see how much more the old muscles can tackle. I dug out two huge Blue Mouse Ears hosta clumps today at the townhouse and planted a Marque Moon and a Tender Love. Now I need to find spots for the Blue Mouse Ears divisions. I have plans for 4 at the townhouse, lining the path going to the front. I may take the rest over to the historic cemetery and see if they can handle the sun. (They got 6 hours/day here during the peak of summer.)
