Lilyfield Farm

Today there was a bull in the garden. It made a nice hole in the cotoneaster hedge while a stubborn cowboy tried to get it out. To take advantage of the situation I found a big tractor at the farm and dumped several buckets of rotted manure, from said bull and his cronies in through the new portal. Beats dozens of trips with the little tractor.

Blooming right now, iris and the orange species lily pumilum. Still digging daylilies for orders. Nothing like May rain, big healthy plants!

I've started redoing pathways, because bulls in the garden are worse in early spring mud than late spring, think 2000 lb foot prints. The tracks are everywhere, like gopher holes to nowhere. Today's bull was merely a ballerina princess twirling about in lilies.

The daylilies are off to a great start in 2026. Looking forward to seeing more of the garden once seeding is in the books.

What a find while digging daylilies tonight! This would be a seedling from the species L. dauricum I suspect.

Digging daylilies and lighting fires tonight.

These healthy plants are Notify Ground Crew. Many of Lilyfield's tall introductions come from this towering, night-blooming yellow flower.

Lots of green at Lilyfield with 1.75 inches of rain plus some snow as icing on the top. Seeding the farm is at a halt, but the flowers and future crops will really benefit from all this moisture!

'Barefoot' is a teeny weeny little daylily that Lilyfield Farm is releasing from the field this year. This cute gently ruffled peach blushed flower sits amid bright green grassy foliage.

Naming 'Barefoot' was easy, its colour, especially at the end of the day reminds me of the long days of summer. So many summer memories of barefeet on grass, gravel and warm garden soil and cool beach sand. Like our long summer days 'Barefoot' will bloom from late spring until freeze up, sending up new scapes as long as the weather permits.

I remember the long trek from the house to the shop at the farm. Gingerly picking across the gravel at the beginning of summer, later walking on it like no big deal. Hot summer days playing in a sprinkler sliding on the grass, and lazy hours on the beach, toes searching out the cold sand under the burning hot top layer.

First garden flowers! A handful of scilla bloom every spring at the base of the ninebark near our front step.
