It's day lily time!

The time of year has arrived for some of our favorite flowers! When we moved last August, we transplanted cuttings of all our day lilies, many of which came from Beth's dad (our resident day lily expert). We planted our cuttings along the longest fence in our backyard, and it seems to be the perfect place for them! These hardy plants look like they need to be split already!


This past weekend we finished up the landscaping in the backyard. And just in time: here are the first blooms on some of the day lilies.



Who's that hiding under the tomato plants?


We even have an infestation - if you will - of tiger lilies. These aggressive guys are often seen growing wild in big patches along the side of the roads (not so much in Ohio, though). We inherited a big patch of them behind our garage. I yanked a bunch of them at the start of the season, but they're still growing in force. If anyone would like some, you're welcome to them - but beware! They grow like weeds. Tall, beautiful orange weeds.
