Hopefully, it will just take me a day or two to clear out the bed. The worst problem is the grass that has taken over in one spot. And sigh, the ants. Can I use Preen around irises? Or should I wait till they've established themselves? Heh, it was only supposed to be 3 iris plants, but the seller tossed in 3 more, bless her heart. And not only did she add extras, but the extras are similar colors to the ones I ordered. Nice gal!
Ya know, I don't know why I'm stressing over these guys. When we moved here, the dogs found an iris tuber lying on the ground, so I took it from them and tossed it in a corner. The darn thing sat there for nearly a year before I finally took pity on it and planted it in a big pot. That iris took off and completely filled that container (it was one of those half wine barrels).
Ok, Arlyn, I think I have just the spot to tuck them while I get that bed ready. Nice and shady with a breeze.
