than taking care of the earth and letting it take care of you.
What a beautiful sunrise this morning. Very mild, springlike temperatures. Have the window open ... hear a few cars passing by, dogs barking, goats bleating, birds chirping, even hear turkeys off in the distance. And while on the porch, saw a heron fly over, birds eating out of the feeder, kitty walking in the pasture. When a morning begins like this, it is gonna be a GREAT day.
Talking yesterday, Ms Mildred asked why love daylilies? Hmmm, did not take long to answer ...
Cost effective ... daylilies are a good overall value, long-lived while producing much
Soil ... daylilies tolerate most any soil type, showing best blooms with good composted soil
Sun ... daylilies prefer 6-8 hours of sunlight per day to produce most and best blooms
Ease ... daylilies are easy to grow
Division ... daylilies are divided every 3-5 years, after clumps are large
Foliage ... daylilies have beautiful green foliage that can be curved, thin, wide, enhancing blooms beauty
Variety ... there are more than 60,000 daylily cultivars to choose from
Color ... daylilies come in a vast range of colors, not true blue nor brown, other than that the color palette is open!!
Daylilies just make a great perennial that provide years and years of enjoyment. So think about planting some in your yard this year. You will be pleasantly surprised. Our website, Oakville Farm, is getting closer to opening, so keep your daylily list handy and check us out.
