GUERRILLA GARDENING - beach update

This is a follow up on some plants I guerrilla gardened at the Manitoba cottage in 2012. 

The daylilies are coming back well and continuing to bloom each year.

The Oriental Lilies also planted here get eaten by the deer each year, though they survived long enough for a few photographs in 2013. The daffodils have not done well in this sandy soil over these past two cold winters.

Daylilies planted further down the road, away from the cottage, have not fared as well. 

Lesson? 

Being within reach of the hose makes all of the difference.
