Thanks Rita we just built it in July I had one large mixed bed and everything was over grown and they needed divided badly so I wanted something a little easier to work with and space to walk through and clean them which I did not have before I am looking forward to bloom I didnt think I would get much with this being the first year transplanted but they are growing really well it might be a good year.
Betty I have some stalks coming up but I am still at least a week away from anything Blooming if the weather stays warm starting to worry about frost damage I have roses completely leafed out and Japanese Maples are the same way and late frost have really hurt them before but I think my first will be Ghios Plot LIne this year.
Dot I have had leaf spot really bad the past couple seasons and have really tried to stay ahead of the dead leaves, I got most of that big bed cleaned in January we had 60s for highs on January 1st and I took advantage of it, I have also been using Snapshot for weed control it has made it really easy for me, I wish I had it years ago I used to spend days on my knees fighting weeds and grass until I started using it.
Paul I will take lots of pics this year of it I do have a couple pictures of the old one that I moved all of them from here are a couple of the old mixed bed
Polly Thank You I will take some pictures of the other berms tommorrow and post them for you I also Love to look at whole garden bed pictures Im always looking for ideas of what else to add with my Iris that will do well together Im kinda limited to what I can have with the cold here but I try to plant a lot of different conifers, small trees and roses to help when the Iris go out of bloom.
