Hi All,
I don't post often, but sure have done my share of lurking. Thank
you regulars for making this such an interesting and educational
board.
Concerning planting of seeds. I know some of you will think
I'm lucky for living in the good old midwest (zone 5 in Missouri) in
the good old USA. You see, I have the best of all seasons;Winter,
Spring, Summer, and Fall. All I have to do to plant my seeds is
prepare a good bed with alfalfa pellets and fertilizer dug in when
it's too hot to do anything else. In the Fall, around Thanksgiving,
I take the dried seeds from the refrigerator, plant and cover loosely
with straw. Then I set around the fire place and read the iris
magazines until after the January thaw at which time I check to see
if little ones are coming up. I keep the straw on them until warm
weather comes in (Mar, Apr. May)at which time my germination rate is
pretty good. I am a amateur hybridizer and have a serious case of
iris disease.
Does anyone else have trouble growing Beverly Sills and Mulled Wine?
I have replaced both 3 times and will not replace again. I'm just
wondering if it is me or them!
