We are supposed to average 17" of rainfall here in Lubbock but I don't
remember the last year that really happened. I can not imagine growing
iris on 8. Which types of iris do best for you? How is your ground
water?
It has been snowing all day here, quite a novelty, but we have at best
2" on the yards. It just doesn't seem to stick. Oh well, water is
water.
