No jerry Garcia was not here, nor was Bob Weir, or any of those guys. The Grateful dead did not play here but the "morning dew" was all around. We did have a dead head party, but not that kind of Deadhead party.
What we call deadheading is all about removing the blooms from Friday so that they aren't hanging and mushy the next day at our Open Garden for the visitors to see. Every year on the evening before the Open Garden, we start at one end and move to the other end picking off that day's blooms. The picture shows you what it looks like after you've walked through a garden with hundreds of daylily plants blooming their heads off and removed every bloom, piled them in the wagon for disposal. It is a tough job, but someone has to do it.
