    We've seen a hedgehog again in the last couple of days and getting lots of birds visiting. Still no sign of any frogs yet but fingers crossed they'll arrive eventually.

    Broken growing shoots Day Lilies

    If they don't have live tissue above the main root, they aren't likely to grow. If there's still green growth, just plant them and they should be ok but it might be next year before they do much.
