Your yard looks wonderful and it looks like you have plenty of room for daylilies. Love the blue and yellow combination. The daylilies all look good, but I have to pick Black Fathom Depths as my favorite. It is such a fabulous performer.
Your pergola looks so inviting.

I just love all the yard and garden pictures. Your place looks so nice. I just kept looking and looking and going back to look at all your views. I love your setting.

Now around your garden I see taller grass areas that look like fields. Is that a farm around you? I love rural, but unfortunatly not very rural around here.

I really love the newly plowed to be veggie area. Yes, plant lots of veggies as you now have lots of room.

WEB OF INTRIGUE and BLACK FATHOM DEPTHS tie for my favorite. Both are real beauties.

I think it looks as though you have been very busy. I love the patio where you go to rest and watch Clown Parade!! My favorite of the bunch is Black Fathom Depths also. Very nice!! Ellie

I really like the color on the trellis trim and chairs. OM looks like it was worth the wait and 24 scapes on WI is a lot of scapes.

Julia - I always envy how much space you have. Things are looking great, and I know you will enjoy that patio so much this summer. Web of Intrigue is just gorgeous. I can't imagine 24 scapes. That will be some clump shot.

Debra

well, you certainly have lots of room for flowers and vegies, too. bet the deer love it too.LOve all your daylilies and especially WEB OF INTRIGUE.

You have a wonderful porch from which to view the garden and stay cool; and now you have the patio as well. I too envy the space! I like the bitone--or is it bicolor?--of All American Girl.

The fields around us are ours. We've been waiting for the person to come in and cut the fields down and bale which I hope is soon. I need to take down the rear temporary fencing and either replace or repair it but not till they finish.

The patio is one of my favorite places. I made a shade cover for the pergola this spring so when I need a break from the sun, I can sit down and relax a bit. The front porch is great when working in the front gardens. Take a break and cool off or just sit and admire the blooms. We always seem to have a breeze here but being in full sun can wear you down.

ALL AMERICAN GIRL is a bitone. I always get confused with the bicolor and bitone too.

Thanks for all the comments. I'm hoping the blooms take their time as I really want to enjoy the colorful display and give me time to finish other projects.

Julia

WOW, I would KILL to have that much space and flat pasture land!!!! I had nothing but woods when I moved here 26 yrs. ago and every garden has been a major pain in the @#$ because I have to make raised beds and there are still too many trees and not enough sun. So I am green with envy looking at your pictures. You have a wonderful place and it is beautiful. That patio is just divine. My favorite daylily is Web of Intrigue.

Celeste

I think we're all going to envy the room you have for gardens! nice photos, what a wonderful looking bazebo. I like that dark colors and hue of balck fathom dpeths..

Celeste: The property was fields and vineyards when we bought it. Unfortunately the vineyards had to go so all the vines, poles and wire had to come out. 10 acres worth. The house now sits on part of the old vineyard. The soil isn't the greatest so I always have to bring in garden soil to raise the beds up a bit.

deangreen: I love this place for its location and open spaces not to mention all the wineries in the area. However, more space equals more gardens means more maintenance. LOL.

Julia

Such wonderful wide open spaces!!! Love your pergola, it was part of my inspiration to put up a pergola, rather than any other type of 'roof' on my deck. I love Web of Intrique, and Black Fathom Depths will grow into it's height, mine did!!!
Cindy

Cindy: Thanks for letting me know about BFD. I was concerned with the height but if it does get to the registered height it should be okay where I planted it.

I still found with the pergola here that I needed additional shade so I made a shade cloth for the top that is easily taken off and put on. Partially visible in the last photo.

Julia

Wow, what a beautiful space you have created. Love your patio and love love, BLACK FATHOM DEPTHS. sharon

Thank you Sharon. Yes, BFD is a beauty. Can't wait to have it bloom in a clump.

Julia

I just love that setting you have. The gardens around the house and then the fields all around. Plus a lovely porch and patio to sit out on and enjoy all those views. Really lovely!

Thank you Rita. So hot and muggy here today and tomorrow will be worse. Odd thing is we had rain around 4:30am for about an hour with thunder and then it got so humid/muggy. I guess the next couple of days will be limited garden time till the weather breaks again.

Julia

Wow! Love all the pics! Just one question - how do you keep the deer out?

njmomma: We have fencing (not the best) around most of the area around the gardens but the deer tend to stay out in the fields. It is the fawns who tend to roam in when they are running around like dogs playing. I suspect we have a pregnant doe that has been roaming the fields lately by herself. Time will tell.

Julia

You have a beautiful place and your gardens seem to be coming along nicely. Web of Intrigue is my favorite of the daylilies.
