Hey there everyone,
We did build the GH ourselves out of old windows. I really luv it out there on a sunny day. In the winter it gets up in the mid 70s if its sunny! I trudge through the snow just to sit and warm up. We live in a 100yr old farm house-its really drafty and cold during the winters. Total cost for the GH was around 300.00 for the wood and screws! :)
I get roundup concentrate from the farmer every spring whether i need it or not and I mix it strong-kills everything i spray it on! For the daylily beds I do alot of tilling and hoeing all summer and yes i have used preen in the spring-thinking on a pallet full next yr LOL

(((Are you a daylily Hybridizer? Do they start from seed easily? ))))
Im not a known Hybridizer -someday i hope! But i do dabble pollen all over the beds trying to make something new and great!!! Daylilies are very easy from seed and easy to grow

glad you like the pics :) makes all the work worth it
this is across the 3daylily beds

Im off to the post office to mail my LAST trade for the season!!!
