End of the month....

Hello Daylily Lovers,

Can you believe it? The end of the month of July! Are your daylilies continuing to show their colors? Hope so. Our rebloomers are looking good. Our other daylilies are being deadheaded, so growth will go to the roots. Better daylily clumps for next year, ya know.

Have just returned from the blueberry bushes for the day. You know that blueberries are an excellent antioxidant, good for your health. Blueberries contain 14 mg of Vitamin C and 0.8 mg Vitamin E per 1 cup of blueberries. These blueberries we picked from Calvin's yard are so sweet and very abundant. After picking them, I laid them on a towel to dry and will put in freezer bags in about an hour then to the freezer they go! Again, I have eaten so many that my teeth have turned blue. My Mother, who was an RN, said you need only "swish and rinse" your mouth out with water after eating blueberries to prevent any stain. Works for me!

Until next time, Happy Gardening.
