 This website was created out of the love of gardening. For over forty years, I have toiled in the soil of my vegetable garden.  I have grown everything from A to Z and back again.  In 1999, my beloved bride Marie became very ill.  During her recovery period, spending time with her, I learned to love flowering plants.  This website is dedicated to all our gardening interests. I will introduce you to my Deep wide row method of vegetable gardening. I developed this method primarily to eliminate the problem of properly maintaining moisture in dry climates such as Texas where we live.  This method provide superior growing culture allowing plants more room for there roots to spread and thrive. I hope this method will make your Gardening efforts more productive as it has mine.

Additionally we  have included my second love, “Daylilies”, and the other “Flowering Plants” we grow and enjoy.  It is our vision to someday house the largest Daylily Photographic Database in the world. My first attempt at creating our first Daylily Database was a simple text based collection of data and Daylily images.

In 2002 my first cousin Jason S. saw it and liked the project, and said it could be a great deal better. He voluntarily joined the project and completely redesigned the Database. He developed and built the current search engines. The Fertility Database was added as well as the ability to search for child cultivars of registered Daylilies. In September 2003 we formed a partnership. In 2004 Jason S. developed our “My Daylilies” function so our supporters could maintain a personal database of their own Daylily collections and make trades between our Benefactor members. Jason S. Has many more plans for Garden related perks for our supporters.

On July 19 2003 we introduced our Gardening Discussion Forums. We have great fun discussing our love of gardening with members across the globe. It was our goal to provide a forum providing freedom of speech within the bounds of civility. Our website is completely member supported by many fundraiser efforts developed primarily by our members. We routinely hold two major fundraisers in the form of Daylily auctions in the Spring and Fall. We hope all our website visitors will participate in our many forums discussion.

We recently added online auctions. We are in hopes of attracting mostly gardening auction items and users. However we can accommodate all type of auction items at reasonable rates.

Our future goals are somewhat unclear at this time, but will continue to provide cutting edge gardening content and services.

We hope this website will be of some value to you for years to come.   

Enjoy!
