I&#8217;ve gotten out my notebook planner and am starting to plot out what and where everything will go this year. Hopefully, with two new knees, I&#8217;ll be able to do more than last year. I&#8217;ve even bought some more daylilies through the lily auction, planning on putting in another bed in the backyard.
