UPDATE 2011-04-09

A lot has already happened on my small lily field in 2011. Since the weather was very dry and sunny in Jan., Feb., and March and also VERY warm (up to 26°C) in April, virtually all lilies have appeared, some of them are already 25+ cm high! Since I really had "problems" with weeds during the course of the 2 last years, I have made gravel paths to be sure that at least these will be free of weeds. At the moment, everything on the field is doing VERY WELL, so 2011 has had a great start! :) Field in early April.......... ......and on April 6 right after having finished the gravel paths. Lilium candidum, as usual, i the first lily to appear, however, a lot of others have already grown large "spears" up to 25+ cm (photos will follow.....) Large Alliums and an enormous Eremurus robustus that was planted in spring 2010 and did not even make leaves last year.
