Daylilies, and Clover!

The birds continue to devour the serviceberries. It is so much fun hearing them twitter away in the bushes. 

I'd spent the morning transplanting daylilies into the backyard. It wasn't quite as hot as the day before, which was a good thing. I should wait until fall, or after they bloom. I should put down a wee jag of topsoil, and turn over the soil, but that isn't going to happen with my foot issues. I needed some garden therapy. 

I wanted to do something with the back, and daylilies are a hardy, drought resistant plant. We've only had 4 mm rain this month. I've paler ones out front. 

The brighter orange ones are out back. I'll move some of these later!

JB brought some garden soil, which I tucked in and around the transplants. I was careful to avoid the spent daffodils. 

My lilies are doing so well. I am pleased with my netting. Thing is, Clover deer must have gone over the rainbow bridge, as she was the one who munched them in the past. She hasn't touched the hostas, either.

It is deerly season

 My lonely hibiscus was droopy, and I had to water it. Even the rose stem was drooping. Afterwards, it perked right up. We had 3 mm rain in the evening, which is most welcome.
