There is a big difference between Zones 3 and 4, after all. We
had snow last night for the second time....but you all make me
feel like a visitor in your reblooming iris gardens and I am
enjoying it immensely.
Our ground is frozen in some places but usually is workable in the
afternoon after thawing out. It better be tomorrow since I am picking
be since I am picking up a a big order of bulbs and plan on putting
them in the prepared beds this week-end. Next year bulbous iris,
but tulips, narcissi, croci and lilium will just have to do this
year or should I say next year?

Zone 3 (-40 F min. in winter) Temp. today was 14 F min. and
it was so cold and windy that I wore a pair of ski gloves
while gardening plus various other winter gear - what a
sight. :-D = LOL
