One question, Roland: are the trenches next to the border for purposes of better irrigation? Or maybe just to hold the border in place once the rocks (gravel?) go in? Or are the black rocks purely decorative? Just wondering....
Well, I guess I have another question: what maintenance is involved with the daylilies once they've bloomed? Do you pull off the dead flowerhead? Also, do you remove the center stem once it's turned brown or do you have to wait for it to fall off by itself?

The trenches, in my opinion, are both decorative and useful in that they (hopefully) keep grass out of the flowerbeds - we'll just have to see ...
Yes I deadhead the flowers from the iris, the tulips, the lilies and the daylilies, but I usually (not necesarily always) wait until the stems are dry before pulling em out.
Speaking of daylilies, a couple a very lovely new variety a daylilies blossomed today. They're of the same quality as the peach daylily from earlier this week, with the exception that they've blossomed in previous years & these will produce weeks of blossoms.
Both this and the next daylilly pictures are shown (unblossomed) at the end of the unfinished flowerbed in the previous picture! :)
