Anticipation

For the last couple of weeks I have been carrying the potted hybridizing plants into the greenhouse. These potted plants are mostly the selected plants from the crop of 2016 seedlings. I do have a few named plants I also bring in to use with some of the seedlings.

When I bring them in, they are cleaned, trimmed and then Milorganite, a pre-emergent (yes, I do get weeds in the pots inside), Bayer Tree and Shrub, and Epsom Salts are added. About once a week, they are misted with Miracle Grow 16-6-8. As you can see, they have started to grow already.

If you want to see some of the seedlings I will be using, go to our website at www.chattanoogadaylilies.com and click on the seedling page. This is what keeps me moving and saying, "Life is very, very good".

On the far left are this years seedlings and on the far right are a few seedlings that I held over from last year that have not bloomed as yet.
