The daisies felt slow to come in, and now I hope I really like daisies as much in ten years as I do now, because that's some madness. #gardening
@linuxlibrarian Shasta daisies?
@PugHollowSanctuary Yeah, those are mostly Shasta (though I think some oxeyes are probably in there too). I have a few Montauk clusters (the crappier the soil, the happier they seem) but those bloom really late.
@linuxlibrarian My mom planted Shasta daisies many years ago and they went nuts. Very pretty but of the "give an inch and they'll take the yard" variety.
@PugHollowSanctuary It's a little concerning as I, uh, gave them the yard. I hope I didn't give them the neighbor's yard too. Lol
@linuxlibrarian At least they're pretty? Around this property my "invasives" are Stella D'oro daylilies and dayflower. The previous owners planted both of them and every year I have to go through and yank a bunch up so they don't choke my roses and iris.
@PugHollowSanctuary oh, we also have those, but they seem to be more "out front" problem children. They don't seem quite as out of hand in the back (yet, anyway)
@linuxlibrarian Both of them pop up in unexpected places around here because we mow over them and the mower transplants them across the yards. I literally pull up and give away buckets full of daylilies every spring.
@PugHollowSanctuary I have that issue with deer and various items... Sedum, but the Montauk daisies too.... They bite it, realize they don't like it much, spit it out, and then it comes up over there.
