Hi All~~

I have been growing Lilies in my garden for many years, but after my new garden went in a couple years ago, I decided to try to really give them what they needed to do well. I've read many articles, a lot of chapters in a bunch of gardening books, and read a LOT of threads here.....but I was wondering what you all feed your lilies at planting time, as well as after they have been in the ground for 2-3 years and beyond. Do you feed them anything special in the spring as they start to break ground? Do you feed anything in particular through spring and summer? And what about Fall as they go to sleep for the winter? I know this is a lot of questions, and have all probably been dealt with here over, and over I just wasn't finding the kind of great info you all always have here!! :-} I have bought a LOT of new bulbs that will be going in the garden this year (Gotta love those DG co-ops!!)and wanted to really grow these Lilies as well as I can.

Thanks in advance for any help with these questions!!
