Daylilly,

Dig whenever the mood strikes you! It takes (in my opinion) at least 3 years for a bog to really become well established. The bog pics I keep showing are of a bog I started at a previous home in 1998. When I moved in April 2000 I cut the bog's sod and moved the ENTIRE garden (what a pain in the butt!), and actually there were 2 gardens I moved, with the promise that the holes would be filled with quality garden soil.

Sorry for all the photos, can't help myself! Orange fringed and Monkey face orchids (both Platantheras) bloomed the second week of August this year!
