A bit uncomfortable talking about joy of rainfall with all the flooding in Texas/Oklahoma, but it <finally> rained here a little. 3/4 inch in the guage this afternoon.
Not much of a dent in the ~13 inch deficit, but very welcome for the moment!All of Tennessee was declared a disaster area after the spring freeze; now about to all be declared a disaster area again because of the drought. No hay, no pasture, no water supply for livestock. Worst winter/spring drought here in over 100 yrs.
Store-bought irises in general look pretty bad now - starting to see scorched foliage. Most seedlings are happy. This year will definitely accelerate the shift towards growing mostly my own seedlings.
Sure picked a good year to put out a thick layer of chip mulch!! :-) -- Linda Mann east Tennessee USA zone 7/8 East Tennessee Iris Society <http://www.DiscoverET.org/etis> American Iris Society web site <http://www.irises.org> talk archives: <http://www.hort.net/lists/iris-talk/> photos archives: <http://www.hort.net/lists/iris-photos/> online R&I <http://www.irisregister.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to majordomo@hort.net with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE IRIS
