I guess I'm getting better...last year the men in white coats were due...but somehow missed me. This year I'm only Slightly Off Balance! Of course that might be partly because I have about 200 iris still in pots from last year! So I only bought 56 so far this year...and yes they are in pots too.
I could explain that it's taking longer to remove the bermuda grass than I planned...or that I've been really busy and doing a lot of travel and volunteer work this summer, that the weather has been really hot,...but my poor iris are suffering! Is there such a thing as an SPCI?
Hopefully I'll be able to get back at it as the weather cools. Our temps are still hitting 98-100 degree highs most days.
So here is my pattern, you can tell me what you think:
2011 - 2
2012 - 0 (the first 2 'big box' iris didn't bloom)
2013 - 351 (one of the first two bloomed!)
2014 - 56 so far...but still looking!
I better be careful, I think the men in white coats are still trying to find me!
