Hi Tom, Lilli and Leslie (and others), thanks for rattling my cage
I've been pretty busy doing stuff that I haven't had time nor energy to get on the forum.By the time I come inside at the end of the day, I have to cook something to eat, shower then just sink into the lounge, watch the news and vegetate. Thank God your election is over!!
Now, this season is beyond belief, it's been pretty cold with heaps of rain and hail and terrible storms with destructive gale force wind.One of my sheds, the calf shed, lost its roof last week.It took off, flying over the orchard and hitting the gum tree line 4 or 5 metres up, before crashing down.
I have not a single Japanese iris in bloom, whereas at this time last year, most of my stock plants were flowering and half of my seedlings that went on to bloom for that year had flowered.Another week and I will have quite a few to post (subject to no more gales or hail)
Here are all the seedlings, 2014 and 2015 that will bloom soon.Picture taken today.
I finished 3 days ago potting my 2016 seedlings into their 68mm pots.You can count them if you like!
