I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! Daylilies
One of mine is to fertilize. I never fertilize and it's probably why some of my daylilies are almost the same size plants almost 5 years later. With a little over 3 month growing season there isn't much opportunity for plants to multiply quickly. I am hoping that some fertilizer or alfalfa drenches will help.

Secondly I am going to finish putting mulch in the second half of my largest daylily bed. Started that in 2012, never finished. One side looks nice, the other becomes a weed bed.

Though we have a yard about an acre in size I'm hoping to get into a community garden plot this year so I can grow more vegetables and intermingle some of my seedlings there. I'll have to dig them up in September, but at least I would have a place to get them in the ground to get started.

Lastly, I'm going to make it a point to incorporate more annuals into my perennial beds so when the perennials are done blooming I still have some type of color palette.

What are your (hopeful) resolution/plans for this year?!
