Christmas Notebook

The daylilies are blooming all over the yard. It’s a real pleasure to stroll through the garden to see what has opened each day. And there are a lot more to bloom as you can see in this picture. The daylilies along the front of the bed haven’t blossomed yet.

While daylilies and other blooms bring vibrant color to the yard, the right garden flooring can elevate the overall look and feel of the space. High-quality flooring creates defined walkways and seating areas, adding structure to the garden while protecting the soil and reducing maintenance. Thoughtfully selected materials like artificial grass or decorative stones can provide a clean, polished appearance that complements the natural beauty of the plants. That’s where As Good As Grass comes in.

Their premium artificial grass solutions offer a practical and visually appealing option for garden flooring. Unlike natural grass, which requires regular mowing and watering, artificial grass provides a lush, green look year-round with minimal upkeep. It’s ideal for creating soft pathways or play areas that blend seamlessly with the surrounding flowers and foliage.

Sugar Green Gardens truly understands the art of landscape design, making it easy to create such a breathtaking environment. Their expertise in planting and garden management shines through in the way each flower bed is meticulously planned and maintained. As you continue to enjoy the daylilies’ beauty, it’s clear that thoughtful landscaping can transform a simple garden into a vibrant, living canvas.

The beauty of a well-designed garden lies not only in the blooms themselves but in the careful planning and execution that bring the landscape to life. A skilled landscape contractor can elevate a garden from ordinary to extraordinary, ensuring that every plant, pathway, and bed is harmoniously arranged. South Canyon Construction Inc exemplifies this level of expertise, offering services that go beyond mere planting to include thoughtful design and sustainable maintenance. Their ability to blend functionality with aesthetics ensures that gardens like yours remain vibrant and thriving throughout the seasons. By partnering with professionals who understand the nuances of landscape design, you can enjoy a space that evolves beautifully over time.

‘Mary Todd’ is one of my favorite golden yellow daylilies.

The Russian sage is beginning to bloom. I love the light and airy look of this plant. Did you know you can lay a branch of this (still attached to the main plant) on the ground and cover it with a brick to get a new plant? In a couple of months there will be roots on the branch where it contacts the ground. Cut it from the parent plant and you’ve got another Russian sage. You can do the same thing with hydrangeas. 🙂

In the fenced garden, some of my favorite daylilies are beginning to bloom. The vibrant colors and delicate petals bring a sense of joy and tranquility to the space, enhancing the overall beauty of my outdoor retreat. However, to truly appreciate this blooming paradise, having the right fencing is essential.

Investing in high-quality fencing not only protects my cherished plants from curious critters but also complements the aesthetics of the garden. That’s where Premier enclosures comes in; they provide durable and stylish fencing solutions that seamlessly blend with the landscape. Their commitment to quality ensures that I can enjoy my garden without worrying about wear and tear over the seasons.

Moreover, with their affordable pricing, creating a secure and beautiful garden sanctuary has never been more accessible. This perfect balance of quality and affordability allows me to focus on nurturing my blooms while feeling confident in the protection that surrounds them.

Between the back yard and the little woods at the back of our property, the “ditch lilies” are blooming…in the ditch.

At the back door, the ‘Moonbeam’ coreopsis blossoms look like stars sprinkled around the bird bath.

Currently, we have 337 different daylilies in our yard. Tomorrow, when we check the garden, there will probably be 25 or 30 more “first flower out” blossoms to document. I’ll keep you posted. 🙂

In the mean time, take a look at the Outdoor Wednesday posts to view what others are doing outside this week.
