Re: CULT: How do you feel about interspersing other plants in your iris beds?

Well...
Well, I grow my squash in rows in my garden, they're in my garden, I grow my
tomatoes and my peppers and my onions in rows in my garden, I call it my
garden, but I don't have any corn rows because I don't grow corn any more...
AND I do have a lot of companion plants in my squash, tomato, pepper and
onion garden... sometimes they bloom, sometimes they don't bloom, although
too many of them bloom and make it back year after year because the kids
won't help me weed often enough.  And I guess I can't call my unwelcomed
flowers as collections because they don't seem to know where the rows are,
but I do maintain a very large number of them so I must be a collector, so
now I'm confused, do I have a garden or do I not?
<grin>

> I am always amused by the idea that Irises are supposed to be garden
plants. It seems most people grow them in collections ( corn rows) which is
fine. I am a collector myself and this is the easiest way to maintain a
large collection. But that is not what I call a garden. If we never grow any
other plants with Irises how can we call them garden plants and how can they
be judged as such?
