Well, I have one goal and that is to reduce the number of irises I have in pots - most of them from the move, but also most(?) of the more recent acquisitions. (I'm in full swing making new shopping lists!
)
This will involve 1) Finishing my iris hill this spring, so it will be ready for planting in late summer. 2) Digging the long narrow beds next to the main pathway out back and 3) Most importantly, get the [censored!] voles under control!!
The good news: I found pellets from what must be a large owl, so with any luck it'll stick around - owls are supposed to be among the best vole-hunters we have.
Another of my iris plans is to try out more non-bearded irises. I've already got a few, mostly Sibs and plan to get more of those, but I'm looking at some of the water-loving kinds as well. Very exciting!
Finally, I would like to find a permanent home for all the dry-loving little irises, mostly species or species hybrids, I have in pots and small troughs - maybe larger troughs?
...and who knows, maybe I'll even find the time to get my hybridising going again?
