My intuition works most of the time. I can't imagine trying something new, but maybe.

I put the rebloomers near the foundation to bump them another zone. They are surrounded by some sort of self planted mustard that is absolutely delicious and winter viable.

Most of my tags faded out. Good thing I entered all my acquisitions to the plant list. Blooms might have to be awaited for better tagging. Then there are the 1000 noID's from Craigslist.....

My big thing this year is to try Actinovate for powdery mildew on the squash and Copper Sulfate for daylily rust. The iris had very little rot or pests.

Calendula made a lovely scene. Ornamental Oregano and Globe Thistle are lovely foliage around the iris and then get big while the iris fade to swords. Yellow tea roses and baby boxwoods look good too.
Don't make fear based decisions.
