Hi,
I am faced with an iris dilemma that I hope some of you can help. I
live in an old Victorian with a wrap-around porch. The part that wraps
around is not covered by the porch roof and thus needs replacing due to dry
rot. The majority of my irises are located on the south side of this porch.
The carpenter told me this morning that he was going to start in 2 weeks.
(We've all heard that before I'm sure.) Anyway my problem is I want to thin
and rearrange these irises plus add new ones, some of which I just received
yesterday, and I don't know when to do it. Now before he starts the porch?
Trust that he really means 2 weeks and wait (not knowing how long it will
take him to finish)? And what should I do with my incoming irises? Pot them
all? How many to a pot? Like all of you, I take a lot of pride in my irises
but I am really perplexed! Demolishing the old porch is sure to lead to a
lot of tramping around in the bed.
What to do? What to do?
