Them your maters? I like the color of those marigolds; a complementary planting, perhaps?

I got the marigold seeds for free at the home show. I started the in pots and then set them out. I've been pleased with how they've grown.

My daylilies aren't blooming like I'd hoped. Gotta figure out what to feed them.

Well, here's how we do it - may not work for you but LSA uses Miracle gro occasionally. Usually takes a couple years to get a more than a handful of blooms, splitting when they get too crowded does help in getting them to bloom. Pinching off the blooms after the flower starts to shrivel is a good idea, also picking off any of the seed pods. Pulling off the leaves when they turn brown, yep we're doing that already. Hope this helps.

Marigolds are very easy to re-seed! Just when you see a flower dying, pull it off and stick it in a paper sack. It'll dry over the winter and the seeds are inside the base of the flower! Just split open the base and you'll find tons of seeds! Then you can just seed them the way you did these.

A note...mine never seed true...the yellows never come back yellow, they all come back that yellowy orange color. Which is ok by me...they are pretty!

I checked yesterday, and the daylily that my cousin got for me from my Granny's yard is blooming! That's kind of amazing cause I brought it back with me when I went to the cousin reunion last June, but never planted it until late summer. I'd kept it moist, but never got it in the ground until almost September. It's a double blossom kind, kinda orangy yellow. I don't have the digital camera right now, but if it's still blooming when Paul get's home from Paris, I'll take a picture! I have a stand of Wedgewood Iris that is just lovely in the early spring and I've never separated them so they're in an ever growing circle just to the left of the front steps. When we get things settled on the construction, I'll have a better idea of where to move them.
