Day Lilies. 24 Jun 24.

 The day lilies are beginning to bloom.

I don't have a name for this one.  I moved it to Battle Ground, years ago.  It was dug out when the sidewalk went in, and wound up drying out in a pile of dirt.

I potted it up and gave TLC.  Now it's started to bloom.  Very nice flower.

I think this is Stella De Oro, old classic everywhere.  I had it last year in a different container.  Lots of buds!

Also the Betty Len daylily.  It doesn't look much like the web photos and package, maybe once it establishes? Also, the color doesn't show correctly in digital photos.  It's more lavender.  It got a difficult start, but is beginning to show some life.

Moving Container Garden To Less Intense Sun. 24 Jun 24.

 With mire intense summer heat and sun coming, the container garden will suffer. I've had them on tbe South / East deck.  Things dry out too fast, wilt, and leaves sunburn.

Now is time to move them to the East side of the house.  There is some southern exposure but not as much.

It's also a shorter distance to carry water.  Less effort.  Plants do well here.

The annual seedlings in large containers remain in full sun.  They aren't big enough to dry out as fast i  large containers. 

Geranium Cutting Update. 24 Jun 24.

This is the geranium that I rooted in water as a cutting, this Spring.  I think it's doing very well.  Lots of roots.  So I up-potted it.

I cut off two flower buds to let it grow more before blooming.

Cosmos Seedlings 24 Jun 24.

 The cosmos seedlings are taking off now.

I have some cilantro in there too.

I have been giving these some growth fertilizer (higher nitrogen).  Maybe it's time to hold off and see how they do.

Marigold Seedlings (and Scallions). 24 Jun 24.

 The marigold seedlings that I planted in larger containers have taken off.

I just planted the remainder.  They are small, in comparison.

There were some scallions left over from thinning.  They sat out for a while and dried out, but the bulbs look viable.  I trimmed them up and  interplanted with the marigolds.  We'll see how they do.
