We have a lawn service but I've limited them to the LAWN only! My husband uses Round-up on weeds in general. If I'm not out there with him, he comes in to ask what areas I want sprayed. In Florida, we aren't supposed to mulch our daylilies or our veggies. The mulch will keep them too wet with the amount of rain we get. It will also harbor insects and diseases related to wet conditions.

I am short, at 5'2" and we won't talk about age. I've been bent in half for most of 2 days and my lower back isn't happy. I'm going to have to wait probably until Monday before I begin fertilizing. That will require more bending as I scoop a small trench around daylilies, throw in the fertilizer, and then cover it back up. It isn't a fast process, but it will require even more intense bending over. Ugggg!!!
