We had a beautiful day here Ruth. Supposed to rain tomorrow so today was a
great day to use Surflan since Rick said it needed some rain to seal it into
the soil. Since spraying Surflan our iris beds now have a stunning "Orange"
glow, almost as good as bloom season! :) And if all goes well the "henbit"
is toast! Linda & I have crawled around on our knees pulling this nasty
little stuff, that continued growing through the winter, as long as we want to
and hopefully won't have to do it again!
If anyone out there wants some henbit we will be more than happy to share!
