Hello, fellow horticulturalists!

I have been set a task to write an annual maintenance plan for a whole
load of plants and one of these is the Hemerocallis 'Chicago Sunrise'.
Because this is a perennial, general maintenance for perennials could be
applied I suppose (a perennial that grows 2.1m tall and flowers in
July/August anyway).

The following must be described:
* Weeding
* Feeding
* Water
* Pest and disease control
* Control growth

Could anybody suggest the necessary maintenance requirements for this
plant in January or even every month of the year?
I hate to ask you all, but this will be an excellent test for your
knowledge and when I have received my National Certificate in
Horticulture, I will be able solve any plant and garden-related problems
you may have. Until then, this small favour would be most appreciated,
as I am swimming in a hundred and one other assignments at present and
am struggling to complete them all.
Thank you!

You will be able to solve *any* of them will you? There won't be a
single one which will leave you stumped?

You folks need to calm down a bit here, all I asked for was a little
advice on the maintenance of the Hemerocallis and I get all sorts of
verbal abuse. OK, so having a national certificate in horticulture won't
immediately make me an expert, so what?
But hey, if you don't want to know, that is fine with me.
Now, here is a question for you all - what plant does one obtain the tea
leaf from (without looking on google)?

You asked us to do your course work for you. And you had the arrogance
to suggest that we would be amply repaid because once you had your HNC
you would be able to answer all our questions for us. To suggest that a
newly qualified HNC who hasn't even done all his coursework himself has
more expertise than the posters on this group, some of whom have had a
lifetime in horticulture and who are leaders in their field, is deeply
insulting.

OK, so having a national certificate in horticulture won't
immediately make me an expert, so what?

So don't suggest it will.

But hey, if you don't want to know, that is fine with me.

Oh, please!!!
If that's your idea of a challenging question!!!

Do you have *any* conception of just how offensive you are being?
Suppose I suggested you might need to use Google to tell the difference
between a daffodil and a cauliflower ... I think that's about the
equivalent level of your question.

Oh, we quite like to know. It's just that we don't regard arrogant
little twits as being more than sub-human.

Now, here is a question for you all - what plant does one obtain the tea

Oh, nuts. There are at least half-a-dozen regular posters who could
not merely answer that, but tell you its horticultural requirements,
and one or two might even have a plant in their gardens.

Chinese or Assam tea (without looking on google)?

If you know how to use google then why didn't you just search for the
answer to your assignment? Have you thought that some of your teachers
might be lurking here?
