RE: REF: program suggestions

Hi Laurie

Sory about confusion.

Our pH is 6 and spurias grow wonderfully for us. Have seen them growing at
5.5pH

Well, I'm not Hamish, but since I posted the original request for 
program suggestions, I'll respond anyway.  ;-)

That's one of the irises I've never attempted to grow, not only because 
I assumed (apparently falsely) that they wouldn't be able to survive up 
here, but also because I understand that they require alkaline soil, 
and mine is slightly acidic to neutral.  Given today's comments on 
them, though, including those generated by Canadian gardeners, I might 
just have to give Spurias a try.  I don't think I'd dare give a program 
on them until I see whether or not I can keep them alive in my own 
garden, though.
