I've reached the point where I'm starting to 'take stock'. The first
rush of buying anything cheap, has passed, and many of those first iris
are listed to be culled next year. With 250 cv's growing, I have listed
40 to get rid of. I'm still learning how to grow them, and also have 100
seedlings, and another 1000 seeds to plant, so commonsense must prevail.
I will have no problem getting rid of seedlings that I don't absolutely
adore, as time and garden space don't permit the indulgence of keeping
too many.
Pity I can't send some of the more enthusiastic members my culls.
Nothing wrong with them, I just have to decide which ones I want the
most.
