There is no grass in the daylily garden, so no mowing. Not worth even trying, as there really isn't enough room in there to begin with. I'm sure that this isn't the right time of year to be digging the bushes up, but I'm kind of at my wits end with dealing with them. And, I need the room for more daylilies! There is a good two feet between the bushes and the fence behind them, so maybe I'll see if I can get them moved into buckets at least for now, and then try to get all of the roots out. Funny how they never grow toward the fence.
Arlene, there is no one around here to help, except my husband. We're the youngsters in our area, and we aren't all that young! I asked my DH if he would help me for a few fans, and he ran out of the room laughing.
Here's a picture of the daylily garden last year, so you know what I'm talking about. The raspberries are on the right, and the blackberries are next to them, but they aren't in the picture.
