"J" is for July.
Early bloom, peak bloom, the beginning of the mid/late season for the daylilies all happens in July in Vermont. FFO's on old favorites, those first ever blooms on new daylilies and seedlings, crosses to make each day, seedlings to keep or compost....visitors, trips to see friends and their gardens...cookouts, warm sun, music in the garden... Incredible, awesome, no time for sleeping July.
Garden Journals, do you keep one? Mine is mainly a bunch of lists. A list for FFO's seen each day, a list of the different plants and daylilies in the garden. A seedling "book" where I can record all the information I need on each keeper seedling each year. Lists for special daylily collections in the garden, crosses to make, seedlings planted, new seeds collected and stored in the fridge....and the always growing lists of things to do and daylilies to add to the collection.
