Suzanne, your gardens continue to amaze me.. I think your soil must be richer than mine, or you're doing a better job fertilizing than I am.. Everything is so lush. And Zuzu, I'd be happy if I could water once a week.. We're irrigating from a small creek that is close to dry. I've got a few areas that I'm watering from the well, but I get grief from the man of the house if he catches me doing it.. Most of the garden gets a reasonable soak about every three weeks. That's almost all day every day with one hose at a time. What's left of the lawn only gets once a week.
I've just torn out a strip of lawn that's 70' x 7'.. I'm planning on a border that includes Roses, Iris, perennials, etc... Looking for recommendations for HT's, Floribundas or other small growing roses. The Iris will be the primary stars of this bed.. I've got about 200 I need to plant
