Great daylily catalogue on line! And all parts are edible. You can eat
the
tubers, the young leaves and the buds. (think fried zuchinni buds)
Settlers
crossing the prairies used them a lot.

Of course the actual blooms only last a day so you can't really cut them
and bring them inside. But they bloom day after day, especially if you
water
them when they 1st start coming up in the spring. They spread  too.

Then you should try Cannas. They are very forgiving. I have some in the
backyard that even my mother didn't kill!
(She isn't a gardener)They come back after freezing and thrive on neglect.
Just water them. If you feed them too, they grow like gangbusters.

 ***9 ft. cannas and 10 ft. tall sunflower.  Neither have been fertilized.

Kudos!  I have the world's blackest thumb, myself; I can kill spider plants

Me too. I love beautiful gardens, but I just can't seem to manage it.

I love that sunflower, Penny.

Allison,

My mother taught to just add them to the soil's surface.  We always added it 
after the coffee grounds had cooled.  I have had some house plants for over 
20 years.


I have a very green thumb.  When I decided to go back to college, my 
decision between majors was horticulture or fashion.  I decided for fashion 
because I hate working in the heat of August.  Here are two photos of my 
latest pride and joys from my garden.
***9 ft. cannas and 10 ft. tall sunflower.  Neither have been fertilized. 
My son standing in-between the flowers is 6 ft. tall:
