Someone gave me an African violet last weekend, and now I think I should garden. Outside. So of course I had to have books that will tell me how to do it. Have I mentioned that I've never had a backyard before, never mind gardened? And that I kill African violets — the easiest houseplant ever — repeatedly, inadvertently, and often with very little remorse?
(This one is still alive. It's been four days, and I'm very proud. I did managed to keep a calla lily alive for a whole two months, once. Then I accidentally left it behind in my beautifully sunny apartment, with no water or air conditioning, for three weeks and in the middle of a hot June, and that was the end of that.)
Do you want some daylilies? We will have to cull ours eventually.
ReplyDeleteOoh, yes, please! I love lilies!
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll set some aside for you when I dig them up. They look something like this:

Hmm, maybe hold that thought after all. If my identification is correct (not a guarantee), then I may already have a mass of daylilies on my hands ...
