<g> Well, Jeff, I was thinking of the first batch of swaps we did,
rather than the most recent one. Hopefully, we've gotten better at
guessing what will do well?? I didn't have the best of years last year,
and never got my new plantings mapped or added to my database. It's
been too durn cold to catch up, plus I have a new gardener's helper in
training (terrier/lab/chow/poodle? mix), who is still too young to
understand staying out of the irises well enough that I can sit out
there and take notes, so honestly don't know if I've killed the most
recent batch (yet...) or not <g>.
Here, no cat fights are likely to kill any irises, but I think
kashmiriana also had a hard time last year. In addition to keep cats
out of the irises, squirrels and moles have vanished from the yard, so
at least the helper has gotten those jobs under her belt and she is
doing a good job of shredding weeds that I pull.
