I'm glad you weren't with me when I bought some irises Tom, my 11 would have turned into who knows how many.
23 acres!...nice! I would get into trouble with that much space.
I have a flat field that I've been covering with wood chips and leaves for the last 10 years. The soil under the chips is black gold and weed free and ready for some love. The slight slope leading to the field (was also covered in chips for years) is where I currently have replanted my other irises.
So I'm making a shopping list for next year (and many more to come lol) to fill the field with color and love.
Paul, I have deer here all year long. I once left the gate open to my roses and overnight, they ate everything off of several of the bushes.....leaves and all. The hostas they will eat to the ground and forget about my poor agapanthus I have/had everywhere in the yard, they are just little green nubs now.
Thank you both for the great advice!
I think I will work in some fertilizer and some aged manure into the designated new bed before the rains come. As for Superstition Gardens, they will hear from me next season. Not too far of a drive for me to visit them too.
Cheers!
