Thought you'all might like a couple other photos.
The final pile of Bermuda Grass -- it's four by five feet across and about 18" tall.
This is a closeup of what I was dealing with. This is a clump of Bermuda Grass. It winds its way through, above, below and around an Iris rhizome. Extricating the rhizome is a task. The density of the roots of Bermuda makes it very difficult to dig through, and lots of rootlets are left behind to start new plants. Someone here recently referred to Bermuda as a "beast". Very, very accurate!!!
And here's another wonderful picture of an eight-foot section cleared (for the moment) of Bermuda Grass. And ready for planting.
Tom -- not ordering Irises for this bed. This bed has been reserved for Irises that I got in 2013 from you, Brad and Snowpeak. They have been patiently waiting in the temporary bed on the north side of the garage -- and some were lost because of the rot issues there.
It's about time (past time) that they get their place in the sun!!! I can't wait to move them!!
Thanks Deb!!!!!
