Done Pickin!!

Good Good morning -
again - another glorious morning - wow - the moon reflecting on the lake last night was just awesome. We are thrilled here. The last order was picked/dug yesterday afternoon. When the plants are dug, and if we are not ready to ship them, they go immediately into gallon pots in soil and watered, and put behind the greenhouse to await shipping. Our weatherpeople are expecting Hot Hazy and Humid this weekend. So - we do not want to subject the plants to that in a Canada Post environment. Last weekend, with lows in the single digits - it was easier to justify, and from the reports of people receiving the plants we shipped last thursday, they made it just fine. However, this weekend will be different. SO - yes - if you have not received either your order or a notification that it is on the way - we plan to ship all 75 remaining ones next Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. YEAHHHH!!!
Next year we are done sooner!!
A number of people locally have picked up their plants here to minimize the stress on the plants. If you want to do that, any time Friday or Saturday morning will be good. Today we are celebrating with my practice staff the work anniversary (22 years with me!) of one of the optometrists. What a dear friend she is, and what a great person. So - one more time, Debbie - thank you for 22 great years with me.
The daylilies are coming out now - LITTLE RED SPRING SONG and LITTLE RED BARON this morning are pretty special.
We have now the job of putting out the plants for next spring. So many orders did not get complete orders, many got everything they wanted and some got nothing they wanted. It seems odd, but we still have lots of plants left, so I am considering a clump sale of the cultivars I have lots of. Prices will be real low on them, but the shipping will be your cost. If you are interested let me know. Probably ones that are good for landscaping and such, and nothing that comes in over $10 on the general listing.
Will close today with a few shots of the plants left at the end of picking... Marv watering them.
Enjoy the weekend - We finally get to start the weeding! Hooray!!
