Thanks for the welcome,
@beckygardener Becky -- I'm not totally new to ATP, been here since last August (and was on Dave's Garden a while ago, for a while...
) Anyway, always nice to be welcomed.
Thanks for the clear plastic knife idea, that ought to work nicely! And
@Lilydaydreamer Lisa, thanks for the can idea, but I don't have aluminum cans around, and also, would likely cut myself on those sharp edges. I may try it though as that engraving sounds quite permanent. I could invest in a six pack of something....
Ah, just to give y'all an idea of context, I have been starting new beds in what was a lawn, since last summer. Here's the view from the back porch just now, with those two small daylily-start areas on the far right of the larger bed, from this angle:
I bought some unnamed dls in a group last year from bluegrassmom (her "rainbow garden" offering), for another bed on the side (not shown in that photo) and just now found one of them has a bloom scape, my first!
Of course I have no idea what that is, or any of them, but it will be pretty I'm sure.
