Arlyn, aside from loving your historics, I'm also always in awe of every glimpse of the most picture perfect, tidiest, most completely weed free beds I have ever seen! You're actually Martha Stewart aren't you? Rolling on the floor laughing

M. Stewart's beds are weeded by helpers which we all wish that we had.

It's one I discontinued to make room for new ones.

Boy I wish I knew how to do that. I get so attached to every one of them and I can't *get rid* of them. It's so bad that a couple of years ago I threw away a clump of rhizomes that I wasn't particularly fond of. I threw them on the manure pile. A day or two later, I saw blooms on the manure pile -- and had to walk out there and take a look. Of course it was the Irises I threw away -- and they looked so pretty, all by themselves where they were not competing with fancier Irises -- and they looked so forlorn laying on the manure pile and trying to be beautiful.............well, you know what happened. I climbed on the manure pile and rescued them and replanted them.

Shrug! Sighing!

That's the way to do it, of course -- but I was in a hurry to use the space for new rhizomes. This was when I was starting to clear the fenceline bed.

A lot of good it did me............... Rolling my eyes.
