Re: Daylilies
Looks as though your local paper is following the trend among
newspapers, Kitty.
Using the local extension office to get gardening material. They do not
pay for those articles. Doing their best to go around experienced garden
writers, use no-pay or inexperienced low-pay writers. Bean counters rule.
I do think it is great you are getting a gardening column to read, but
it is a shame they do not want to pay for in-depth quality professionalism
