Sally, no special secret, grow organic. I garden right next to the Elizabeth River which flows into the Atlantic. I cannot in good concience allow any chemicals "safe" or not to enter the watershed. Also, be good to the "Little People". I see Jack-in-the-green or his brethren every now and then out of the corner of my eyes as I garden. When I find shiny treasures like a marble or shell, I throw it out in the swamp for them. They reward me with record harvests! (youtube Jack-in-the-green, or google for the lyrics to this song about Jack Frost's brother, who taps his cane to awake the sleeping gardens in Spring).
Here's a daylily seedling from my hybridizing program that I am quite proud of. Will be glad to trade seeds this year as well.
