Francelle Edwards  Glendale, AZ  Zone 9


Hello, Everyone,
I finally got all my irises planted and replanted here in Southern AZ where
we had our last 100 degree day less than a week ago.  I planted my last bed
in a race with predicted rain, the only time I can remember that I prayed
that it wouldn't rain.  It held off until the last one was planted then
watered them in.
I am amazed that Betty can plant so late where I know it will soon be cold
weather.  This is latest I can plant here in the warm country and have my
irises do well.  I have noticed that when the ground gets cool in my garden,
roots don't form.  Last year I planted from the first of Oct. to the second
week in Nov.  There was a direct correspondence between time of planting and
vigor of the irises.  The first ones bloomed well.  The last ones didn't
bloom at all and about a third died.
