HYB:Seedlings

Hi Talkers,  

With way too many pods ballooning in the garden, I've had little time to 
think about last years meager crop. Germination was down seriously this year. 
 I'm sure it's my fault . . . I failed to follow through with watering once 
bloom season began.  It rained and then, when I dug into the pots, I found 
another round of small seedlings just cracking the seed.  I'll find a 
different place for my seedling pots next year.  Something a bit more 
convenient to both water and the sun.

With the hot spring we've had, I was beginning to wonder what I was going to 
do with my seedlings.  This cool spell, with internitten rain storms, has 
been just what the iris doctor ordered!  Four long afternoons at my friends 
house and most of my seedlings are planted.  I saved a few of each, and one 
rebloom seedling cross that is dear to my heart, for a small bed here at 
home.  A few others were too weak to survive the primitive ground planting, 
and they went back into the pots for yet another day, or year.  Maybe by fall.

Anyway, it's been a GOOD week.  Sigh!  Ouch!  Ohhhhhh! <g> This old body is 
getting to old for this stuff.
