I meant to do this planting thing last fall.
But there was no time, the bed was not ready, the seeds were barely sorted and there were too many, and it just was not going to happen.
So the seeds sat in the pantry all winter long. And I waited too. Yesterday afternoon and evening the planting bed was raked and measured into shape. The worst of the weeds were pulled. The rows were laid out and the dark claimed the garden back to itself. Wait one more day….
Well today there was no more waiting. It is time for some daylily seeds to get into the dirt. And some did. There are about 300 in the ground and ready for the rains. The rest will have wait a few more days. And I will work out a few new gardening year aches and pains. Much more satisfying that those from shoveling the white stuff.
We have a good five days of rain forecast. With luck we will get rain on three. And that should get things growing. And in a year, maybe two they will be blooming.
I don’t mind the waiting so much, when there is something else to do in the garden.
