August Surprises

August is no bore this year! Daylilies are reblooming, a new compost bin is taking shape, a delayed shipment arrived, monarchs showed up, our honeybees are thriving . . .  unsure what else will happen but I'm watching to see.

Rebloomers make my day!

I'm getting a new compost bin! Hubby gets to use nearly every one of his saws.  
TRUE STORY: 2 years ago, I tore out an article from a 15 year old Fine Gardening mag that I got from a friend cleaning her attic. Recently saw a guy talking on a TV show about his compost bin. 
Same guy:same bin. I told Hubby it was meant to be and he made it for me!
Costs about $300 if you count his time and cost of lumber now ... (smiley-face.)

FREE HOMEMADE SOIL!!!

CORNER DETAILS

We ordered a fortune (to me) in daylilies. They made it to Atlanta from Wisconsin in 2 days but then went to NJ then back to Atlanta via Philly PA! They took a beating for 7 days but were packed well and will most likely be ready to sell next fall. They're doozies! They've got big crowns & great roots and are greening up nicely after 2 weeks in the ground and plenty of watering.  
(And with two hurricanes predicted to hit the Gulf at once this week, there'll be more water coming for them.)

ONLY 9 MORE MONTHS TILL THEY BLOOM!

THE BOX SAYS IT ALL!

Stay safe and well. Rita Bee signing off.
