Out of the ground, awaiting separation (5/8)

List item

This is one of the clumps, actually half of one, that has been dug up, but not yet separated. This is mostly daylilies, but there are some iris tubers in there, too. The daylilies are actually easier to dig up and separate, mostly because of the thickness of the iris tubers. In places, the iris roots are so thick that I can’t chop through them with the shovel. If I use the shovel to try to pry them up, it could snap the handle, too, so the going is slow.
