Food for all...

While walking to the mailbox, I saw a patch of blue wildflowers. And upon closer inspection, saw this beautiful bee feasting...on lunch, perhaps.

Earth Day....

Happy Earth Day to all...
The Earth does take good care of us. We should be taking good care of it. Planting trees, collecting rain water, recycling. We can all do our part. Have a great day.

Yes...Frost....

Yes, we did indeed have a frost this morning. These daylilies will be in the sun within the next hour and all should be well. No damage from this one!
Our average date for the last frost is April 20. We wait until the last of April before planting any sensitive plants. Mother Nature does have a mind of her own....

Frost Warning...

Weather forecasters are calling for a freeze warning/frost advisory for April 16 between the hours of 4:00 - 8:00 AM. For that scenario, daylilies do not have to be covered. If scapes (flower stalks) were coming up, the tips may suffer from a burn, but not detrimental. Our daylilies do not have any scapes, therefore, no longterm damage. Happy Gardening.

Great find...

As we were walking through the woods last weekend, we happened upon this fallen tree. Looks as though the woodpeckers enjoyed themselves. The goats also enjoyed themselves...they had pushed the dead tree over.

Spring has sprung...

Forsythia, a beautiful gold bush, is in full bloom. These were swaying in the warm breeze last week. A comforting sight that spring is here.

Daylilies, oh my...

We had some old poor quality hay bales and wanted to get them out of the barn. So we put them out under several old trees. When we lined out the daylilies last fall, we threw unnamed varieties on the bales...well as you can see..something is comin' up! There is much moisture in the hay bales, the winter was mild and it appears the daylilies have taken root. Anxious to see what they are.
So if you have any wonder about the hardiness of daylilies...
