Great yards and properties folks. One day soon I hope to sit on a piece of dirt half as nice.I sit on a 3/4 acre lot. It was mostly woods when I moved in. Day by day, week by week it's slowly transforming. As far as iris space I have plenty of room. These aren't the prettiest pics, but just glad I have a places to plant. Once I dig through roots and heavy clay and tree stumps anywhere is possible I guess. It's been a back breaking year here.

Main front yard area gets all day all the way to senset. Those of you that have my address google map me and see the change. I'm going for grass right now also, so excuse the patches.

Lily bed has a few clumps actually I planted last year. 20 or so discarded noIDs are actually hanging around and look pretty good with all the green going on. Tulips, hyacinths and daffs were a sight to see, but are finished for the year. Great are for sun and shade plants. This is my most favorite area of the yard.

My backyard iris bed. They'll transition here after bloom season when I divide. I fear planting here only because we're in moving limbo and it's going to be a PITA diggin them up later on. This space actually get 80% sunshine leading to sunset. I've strategically cleared some trees and watched this area for a solid year monitoring the sun's rotation around my yard. Kinda important folks Thumbs up I'm proud now that I'll have PLENTY to share around during division time. btw

Potted Chaos area will now become mostly yard and a small garden. We've worked our @$$e$ off clearing all the overgrown English Ivy. Too many roots, not enough funding, and the possibilities of more ivy hanging under the soil. Even though we've uprooted all we can, you that have dealt with this know that these roots are a network kinda like nerves in the body that run deep, here almost 25 years deep. This stuff is ALMOST indestructable or known to be invasive. This area cleared now receives 90% sunlight just barely missing sunrise.
