This was so useful and you explained things really well Allen. Great camera work Lars! I felt your pain when you accidentally broke off the Dahlia flower. We've all done it!

Thank you for this video. I find deadheading very therapeutic so enjoy doing it. My son has a wonderful garden but, having a small baby and working full-time, doesn't have much time for deadheading. Having seen your video I plan to head over there and give him a hand. Thanks again. Your garden is looking really beautiful and I appreciate your generosity in sharing it with us. :)

Greetings from northwest Georgia, we've had a little reprieve from the heat wave. Seems to be over though, back to the 90's and high humidity next week. I love to see the daylilies, I don't dead head mine, I have over 300 different colors , so dead heading is out of the question. Have a great week.
