Re: Iris seedlings in Veg gardens


From: "Mark, Maureen" <MARKM@tc.gc.ca>

Dan & Jan,

I hear you, but Sandy planted them.  I had the same reaction.  I keep
telling myself that I only have to hold the iris at bay for another 2-3
years.  We have an 8-year old who will need her own bathroom in that
time so we'll be looking for a bigger house and a bigger lot.

However, we may be straining this year.  We had space for everything
that was planned.  But I couldn`t pass up cheap convention irises.  I'm
going to have to figure out where to put all the iris that Randy is
sending.
