Fortunately, with the daylily seedlings, I was able to steal a row and a half of the family vegie garden to line them out in. And they are in a double row, spaced about 6 inches apart, so they only took up 90 feet of row space. The THEORY is that when they bloom for the first time (maybe some this fall, but mostly in the next couple of years) I will be able to evaluate them and dig out the ugly ones to compost, and move any fabulous ones into the yard. A big problem with that theory however, is that I have a hard time imagining a flower that is ugly enough for me to be able to toss the whole plant...especially from the crosses that I have used. Oh well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it!

The row on the left, and then the back section of the second row was my 5 hours of daylily planting. Mom kept herself busy putting in the tomatoes (front half of second row to left) and corn (right front), and then running up the hill for a shot of brandy for each of us to enjoy while we finished the task of charting all of the daylilies I planted before the dogs or the deer run away with the nametags!
