But with daylilies they truly are--such gorgeous color, no drama to grow. Used to order them from a grower in OR-maybe--one looked like a Georgia peach. I like the way you've installed permanent beds with rock and stone. And good for you for saving as many trees as possible--great with ground cover and some hosta accents.<br /><br />Now over the years I've become such a lazy gardener (and now with Chet it's hopeless)I'd more want to spend time on your deck with a book.

Looks like you are better at it than me. I need to lend you Moe kitty as he has really put a dent in the chipmunk population on the hill. I just picked me up a brown chair like your blue one. It is great for your back.

Of course, I would rather be able to visit in person, but this is the next best thing. <br /><br />I've thought of doing a tour of my yard soon.
