As we approach Day Lily Festival time this year its with a bit of disappointment. Our lily field is looking very different this year - last year we were praying that the buds would not pop to early, this year we are praying that they swell and make a show. I think we are at least 2 weeks behind. We had a little flush of the early yellows but as Stephen was rototilling up there yesterday (and being bitten alive) I walked and the buds that are there are still tight and small.
WE NEED HEAT ..... guess its a double edged sword, if its too hot to garden no body comes in to see us but if we don't get a week of nice warm days with a bit of rain splashing in we might not have good color for the 23/24th,
But we have some nice plant material on the property so come on over and take a look. Annuals are all but done but some great perennials and some nice shrubs - the Hydrangeas are looking very showy.
I am also doing the new Organic Huntsville Market on Saturday mornings - its at Rivermill Park (where the new kids playground is behind Main Street) - think its a great venue and some fabulous vendors. I am taking Lilies and some nice herbs we grew and soon tomatoes ... Kelly has had us growing tomatoes for a while now - we would have had more but Stephen kept selling the plants!
Will blog again tomorrow .... field update.
