For the last two weeks, the weather had
been warm; highs in the low 70s and at night lows in the 50s.
Wonderful warm weather has awoken all of my spring bulbs
including my daylilies. Yes, my lily flowers have broken the soil
surface and I have noticed that they appear to be overcrowded.
It does not look like I will need to
transplant more than 8 or 9 large clumps. For now, I will keep
watching the garden plants to see what other work needs to be done.
After all, it is the end of February and we could get snow next month.
Know that if I pass up dividing the
flowers this spring then there will be fewer flower blooms or they
may die out due to not enough nutrients or hydration.
When it comes time to divide the
overgrown lilies, I will transplant them into another garden bed or
into containers. The garden bed will have ample sun and part sun in
the heat of the day and the soil will be well drained
Tomorrow I will start getting a garden
bed ready for the transplant daylilies. Learn more about lilies by reading my
