Re: CULT: watering

Bonjour Jules,
 
There are cracks in the clay that are so deep they can take as much water i seem to be pouring without filling up.
Maybe one day, you'll see all this water reapear on your side of the planet, down under / up-above where you live in Australia...
 
We ara spoiled here. There is so much water :
Holland IS a delta, and i live 1 mile from where the Rhein splits, close to the ex German border.
 
So even if it didn't rain for some time now, the dew in the morning is everywhere, and it looks as if it had rained a lot!
 
You are right, i shouldn't bother watering, but i'm like an abusive mother, with love as only excuse...

Hi Loic
 
I'm in Victoria, Australia. Here we are on stage 4 water restrictions. This means we cant water our gardens at all unless it is used water from the house. My Iris get no water other than natural rain fall  and still look healthy and wonderful, we have had less than 1/2 the average rainfall for this year to date. My potted Iris put their roots down through the bottoms of the pots and ground them selves, they also are doing fine. we had similar conditions last year as well and I still got an amazing show of blooms. Many of my first ever iris I found by the sides of roads under gum trees, some in the hottest driest places, thriving on neglect. They are tough. Attached is a photo of my first season 2 years ago when I moved them all here. It took me 12 months to finish planting these Iris , I finished in the September and they started flowering the following month.
 
Jules
