Thank you, Jane! And Carol and Ellen too for their help. I'm just back
from visiting Timber Press's website. Very impressive! Lots and lots of
links, as you said -- also when you're visiting, check out their Weekly
Wisdom, exerpts from quite a few of their books. I especially liked the
one from CREATIVE PROPAGATION re starting seeds, specifically their
responses to water. Since I am trying to plant year-old iris seeds,
this was one of the things I was looking for, tho the author was talking
about annuals.
Thanks to Carolyn, Diana and Kay for their input re my little seed
project. I will find some sand. Kay, I enjoyed your Gardenia account
very much! Guess I could add the vinegar to regular MiracleGro. But they
won't have to be fed any more this Fall, probably. Sorry that my irises
have to be in 4 gallon pots this year--they have plenty of room at least
until I can transplant next summer, and we'll mound dirt around them for
the winter. Our plans for terracing the 5 acres are a little behind
schedule! Once that's done we can plant to our little hearts' content!
(This winter I am being consoled by lots and lots of just-purchased baby
houseplants.)
Cheers, Barb Johnson ljohnson@cland.net, USDA zone 5b I guess.
First frost for sure Saturday a.m.--33 degrees forecast for Springfield,
and we'll be about 4-5 deg. under that.
