It was 71 degrees here in N. CA today. We've had a very mild winter with no freezing in the future forecast. (we did have ice on the dog water bowl out on the deck, back in, I think, January). We'll have rain in the coming week. Temps predicted to be in the '60's..
Ordinarily, I'd have potted up the Tempo Two irises, but with this weather and the nice new bed, I'm feeling confident with direct planting now.
