Daylily shoots in the Spring
Daylily shoots appear quite early in the spring, consequently they sometimes get damaged by frost on the tips or
portions of the emerging leaves.
These shoots look undamaged by frost. One reason may be the retention of the foliage, as it adds a bit
of insulation around the leaves.
Hemerocallis fulva (The Orange Roadside Daylily) is usually quite frost tolerant and as such the shoots come up fast and vigorously
They are easily identified by the loose non-clump forming stand they produce.
Here is a close up example of frost damage to Buttered Popcorn. The tips are shriveled and
mishapen.
While not as badly damaged the peculiar distortion of the tips is evidence of frost damage.
Rest assured though that all these daylilies will grow on to produce a magnificent show in
mid Summer. It's just the price they pay for being so quick to sprout in the spring.
The field in late April
The soil has dried out nicely after all the snow.
Finally with snow melted (mostly), we can begin to work the beds. The beds will be mostly left alone as the
daylilies begin to put up their shoots. We don't clean up much of the foliage, but just work a lot of it into the soil when we get into the beds
to dig and rototill.
The first rototill of the garden reveals some good rich soil, from years of adding compost. We frequently
use plastic as a mulch as it helps save time with weeds and weeding.

Browallia americana: Annual to 2 feet. From South America.
This our first year growing these but thet grow fast and bloom early!
Primula veris: English Cowslip. shade to moist part shade. these have been growing here and there at Olallie Farm for years.
Here a stand of Primula veris inter mingles with a small patch of Iris cristata that is on the verge of blooming.
Agastache urticifolia: Nettleleaf Giant Hyssop. Native to the west, this is a great
bee forage plant and zone 4 hardy!
Here in our greenhouse, Nasturyium volunteers bloom early. native "weed" ferns and small leaf
Commelina add a back drop.
Great for color! Lamium 'White Nancy', the more sun the whiter it gets! Next to it Oxalis "red Leaf" adds color.
Hot peppers, Spicy Globe Basil and other compete for space.
Harlequin Marigold make a great show! The contrasting petals is striking!
Just a mixed bag of plants in the greenhouse. Seedling Rhubarb, Second Year Purple Hot Peppers and a variegated scented Geranium are shadowed by a Avocado tree.
