2019's not Over Yet . . . Add More Daylilies !

Labor Day 2019 has come and gone and now its time to relax from a rewarding Spring and Summer in the gardens. Right? Wrong!

​Fall is the best time of the year to start implementing your ideas for Spring 2020.  Not that it's Fall here in northwest Georgia - it's 93 degrees today but low humidity  (38%).    Heat and low humidity means . . . close to a drought in Georgia.  But, I digress.

My rewarding idea for Spring 2020 was to find more space for 20 new daylily cultivars that I purchased in August and to dedicate at least one raised bed to Miniatures & Smalls. (Word to the Wise: Not the best idea to purchase 20 new daylily cultivars in August without having space for them.) 

So, in the midst of a huge allergy attack, my husband of 49 years agreed to help me empty and turn an existing raised bed 90 degrees, build and place a new raised bed, then empty and fill both with newly amended soil and . . . plants. 

We did it in two days and we're tired! But, I don't have to wait until next Spring to feel the sense of accomplishment and to imagine what these new cultivars will look like in OUR garden. ​

If you want to see what daylily cultivars were added this fall, go to the New Additions link on the Rita Bees Garden & Apiary website and take a look. 

Also added to the website is an Alphabetical List of all daylilies for sale (unless they're for DISPLAY ONLY, which means we only have a few fans left and are propagating them for future sale.

Browse away and if, by chance, you'd like to order any daylilies . . . do so! September is a great time to get daylilies in the ground and acclimated before Winter sets in and Spring returns.
