Donald with the grasshoppers and your late freezes, you deserve
the 'Iris Grower Award' for your perserverance. I am not that
plucky or whatever it takes...
It is, of course, SNOWING and 5 - 10" is expected. This is not
the least bit unseasonal here. We expect it and I was getting
worried that the darn SDBs (and some MTBs and other bearded)
were looking too happy and starting to look too green for my
liking at this time of 'winter'.
Hoping that my trying to get late bloomers will pay off..I have
so many new bearded new intros. last year that I had to push
into the ground when they started to drift upwards... looks like
I only had lost one the other day. A TB intro that looked like a
brown prune with shriveled tentacles...
Good luck Donald,
Ellen
