Hello everyone!

:)

Soooo... are everyone's hands begging to be working the soil as the temperatures warm? I know mine are. I was just in from clearing out the plant debris from winter and I remembered I need to get something this year to protect (mostly) my irises from our late spring heavy snows which are almost always inevitable. Last year they decimated my irises and various other bulbs as the flower stalks broke under the heavy snow. So, I got to thinking this year I will protect them. What I envision in my head is a tarp of sorts that have long stakes on each corner that provide a cover for large lengths of various beds. I can't find anything like that though.

Can anyone out there help with good, practical, economic suggestions?

Thank you in advance!
Benny
