January 4, 2010 and all is cold here at Oakville Farm.
As stated in a previous blog entry, we live in Zone 7 and experience average wintertime temperatures between 0-10 degrees Fahrenheit. Currently with daytime temperatures below freezing and nighttime temperatures in the teens our daylilies are definitely "resting". Old Man Winter has certainly blown in.
While walking through the daylilies today, I was reminded that how daylilies may be classified as dormant, semi-evergreen and evergreen in one area, may not be so in others. Therefore, with your own garden, compile an updated notebook about weather plus classifications and how they affect one another. Keeping a garden or specifically daylily notebook, one can keep up with patterns of early growth, slow growers, those needing extra nutrients, those needing to be divided, etc.
Until next time, Happy Gardening.
