Re: Help! - Lilies gotta go

Well, I didn't get around to moving the lilies, there just was no time.
Fortunately the MG who tends that garden and some others argued against it
on the workday, so they didn't do it.  The plan now is just to move a couple
of them (there are 33) to see how they do as an experiment.  I'm hoping
he'll just leave them until fall and I'll dig them all then for the bulb
sale.
