Kitty, I know the competition of lawn vs irises! Years ago I figured out
I'[d rather weed than mow and the lawn dwindled., I left enough space for
the grandchildren to play croquet - and besides, that area was too shady for
irises! The 5 ft requirement between beds for a National meant I had to get
rid of some boxwood and re-align some borders and skimp on the 5 ft - altho
the lawn approaching the garden is still suffering after 9 years, but there
is still too much mowing AND weeding - but the irises are more than
rewarding, with extra pleasure from the rebloomers. Rosalie nr Baltimore USA
