breakinglight11I planted my daylilies today!
I don't know much about flowers, so I looked up daylilies online and learned that one ought to plant them in potting soil in planters of at least twelves inches in width and depth. So after work I went over to the Waltham Home Depot and picked up the soil and took a look at pots. I wanted something a little prettier, but they got very expensive at that size. I would have gone with plain terra cotta, which were nice but much cheaper, except that they were heavy to lift even without dirt and a growing plant inside. So I just went with plastic, choosing ones as visually inoffensive as possible. I might end up killing these little fellows after all, so maybe I don't need to start splurging on their houses until I know they're not going to be dry and empty in a month.
I put them in just below the surface of the soil and gave them just a drizzle of water; it's likely they'll get more from the rain today. I followed the instructions as carefully as I could, so we'll see how it goes. And back in my hometown daylilies grow wild by the side of the road all over the place, so they can't be that fragile, can they? I can't wait till I find out what color they are. Maybe they'll all be different and I'll have one of each!

Date: 2012-05-16 02:15 pm (UTC)I also wrote a thing in Fallen about someone telling a supposedly inspirational story about a vampire who worked to subvert his monstrous nature by using his powers for good instead of evil. It was almost working until somebody asked what become of him. Which was one day he just walked out into the daylight and incinerated himself because he just couldn't bear it anymore.
I like depressing things!
