Hi Dana,
Your yard sounds a lot like ours,but we only have a 35X100 ft.lot.We
live in the Houston area, where we've already had more rain than you get
in a whole year! I am trying to make our yard have the English cottage
look. Iris & roses are my favorites,though.
This year I'm having trouble with my TB. Too much RAIN! My LA. & sib
like the rain.
We are new to this iris-l,too. I've only been here about a month,but the
info has been so helpful. I really enjoy hearing about everyones
wonderful gardens & yards.
