An 18 wheeler would work better I agree. You might have to buy some more land to plant them all though!

I still sometimes forget we now lose data when we toggle back and forth from a working post.

oh, if I only had more space. I fall asleep some nights working out the steps that I will have to do in order to plant the entire yard in irises. Then I would fall asleep planning what iris to plant next. LOL

Well maybe you need more then one 18 wheeler! Rolling on the floor laughing I have 23 acres here, just think if I got rid of the horses how many iris I could plant. Hilarious! Whistling Confused Then they would come and get me in their white coats! Crying

23 acres...what a dream that would be in springtime! But you'd have to sell all your horses in order to buy the irises to plant!! I'm thinking, in the long run the horses would win out...now maybe taking a few acres here and there to a few plant irises...no, the men in coats would still carry you away and you would miss your horses and the iris blooms! Maybe you should leave things more or less as they are! Hilarious!

So is your veggie garden shrinking every year Tom. Green Grin!

Is that a combined have and want list Sherry?

Sherry, looks like you better start another large bed. That's a long want list! I keep looking at Snapparazzi and like the picture in the catalog, but then I look on the data base and I'm not sure. Does any one grow it?

Rob, I've been steeling space from the veggie garden, and have plans to take another row of space, mostly for seedlings. Confused

If Tom converted to all Iris, he could charge for tours which would pay for the Iris. Make patterns and pictures with the blooms that can only be seen from the air, like you see some folks have done with their cornfields? Have a whole section dedicated to the chickens. Another section for dogs and puppies. The possibilities, oh the possibilities... Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!

I like when you have both shots. Get to see different aspects of the bloom.
