Oh, Leslie, I feel your pain! Here, we are "downsizing". What I have now come to understand is that we are moving out daylilies only to move others in. I sold most of one bed last year and completely did away with that bed. What a wonderful feeling it was to be making real progress in our "downsizing" attempt! We have had a major backslide in the past two weeks. One of our daylily club members' garden has been attacked by deer. She decided it was time to downsize big time and only keep a small number which will be moved inside a fenced area. She offered us and one other member any that we wanted. We dug 20+ clumps a couple of weeks ago in the blazing sun to bring here. Then this week we bought 30+ clumps from someone who is moving out of state and is selling all of her clumps for $10 each. Last night David and I made a second list of about 50 more clumps that we are interested in. We have not heard from her yet, so we do not know how many of those are still available. Give you one guess where these daylilies are going. They are going into that bed that was dissolved. David hauled in a load of composted horse manure yesterday morning and has wheel barrowed it over to this bed. He made another trip to Lowe's to get a load of bagged topsoil. This "new and improved" bed is now ready for planting which I will do tomorrow. I just hope that at least half of that last list of 50 is already sold. Just when I thought I had a handle on this daylily addiction, it has come back to whip me.
