I just want to be sure before I continue - this is the first time I've ever paid more than a few bucks for an iris and it makes me nervous! lol. The soil looks wet because I watered it about 40 minutes ago, but based on my other beds like this it will be bone dry tomorrow, and the top inch or two will be dry by tonight. Since it's in the shade (90 degrees in the full sun according to my phone - I didn't realize it was that hot!) I'm hoping it's ok to plant in the heat? Or should I wait until the bed is nearly dry? I've got to start getting my iris in the ground based on my average frost date...Anyhow, they are sitting mostly on the surface since there isn't much to them - but should the little rhizome that there is be any deeper? They are only 12' - 18" apart because these are temporary beds until next year. Thanks!

Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above. Don't fence me in.
