No iris grows under walnut trees, where the irises
are, the trees have been cut!
the walnut tree leaves get into the compost heap
but i don't use it on the irises, it's too rich in N
I only sprinkle the mixed borders with it in the
winter and also feed the vegetable garden, not the iris .

Hi again,
Now that is really interesting. I've always been under the
impression that walnut trees give off something that will kill anything
around it. That's certainly not the case at your garden.
Maybe it's just a certain kind of walnut tree. Does anyone
know??
I know I'm cautious about getting leaves for mulch, making sure
walnut tree leaves are not a part.
Anyone have any thoughts on this.?

Hi Linda
When we bought the field behind the house 6
years ago, there were 40 walnut trees, and the light could hardly pass
through.
20 had to go, and what you saw is a bit of
one of them, or what's left of them!
They were only 10 years old at the time,
but water is only 2 metres deep and there is plenty, so they grew
like mad.
In Marocco, where it is very dry, i saw
walnut trees that were the same size but they were 100 years old!
So don't get too impressed by their size,
they are only water!
Yes, i really like to see them also from
the top, but i also love to see them more intimately and discover the
halfs and their intricate patterns.
I don't know why haft marks are looked
upon, i personnaly fing them amazingly astounding!

Loïc,
Very pretty.
But what I want to know is: where did
you get should a huge stump??
Do you have big trees in
Holland??
By the way, I like the system you are
using w 3 diff. pixs for each iris.

This is the third iris from Australia
that blooms only 2 months after plantation!
I like the yellow dart in front of the
beard.
