Wow Brad! That's some huge bed of seedlings! You should have many of them bloom next spring, and it will be one nice show. I am quite sure I will want to make a road trip next spring to see them all in bloom. I'm glad you get to weed it! I have trouble keeping my small seedling bed weeded. I can see some of the soil has washed out a bit. Have you had any rot issues this summer with all that rain? Where are you going to put next year's seedlings?

I have some plans for a new bed next year. I had one of my peach trees winter kill, and I will have some room where that was, as I'm not replacing it. I also am going to claim another 60 foot row from my veggie garden. Some for new seedlings, and some for re-planted irises that I will move to make room for new cultivars in other beds. The plan is to limit myself to more of the newer introductions, and not get too many of the older ones. The problem is that when I'm in the middle of winter and looking at all the irise pictures posted during the winter, I think I want them all. We'll have to see how that goes! Whistling
