Seedlings Lined Out

Preparing the Daylily Beds

Not only does in quickly and easily churn in the various amendments, but it leaves the soil well aerated, and loosened for easy planting.<br> </span></td></tr></tbody></table>

Why Tree Pots for Daylilies

Description: <table style="text-align: left; font-family: Arial; width: 100%;" border="3" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(222, 213, 174);"><span style="color: rgb(111, 36, 78); font-family: Arial;"> By the time spring rolls around, the seedlings have developed into substantial fans with huge root systems. The advantage of tree pots is that the roots, as shown here, are “trained” to grow virtually straight down. Therefore, transplanting from tree pots is a much easier and efficient task because one does not have to cope with the snarled, Chinese puzzle root balls that develop in other style pots.<br> </span></td></tr></tbody></table>

Pictured here are approximately 7000 seedlings. Many of these will be transplanted into tree pots and allowed to develop further in the greenhouse; others will be left in the seed trays and planted directly in the ground once the spring weather allows.<br> </span></td></tr></tbody></table>
