GAYLA thanks for the reply on late irises in planting them in the basement
what growing conditions did you give them lites? dark ? or just plant them
in pots & kept them watered ? when they sprouted did you move them into
lite conditions? how did you keep them from getting tall & spindley? by the
looks of these questions i'll bet your thinking ''boy this guy is REALLY
starting from scratch.'' but i could really use some information from
someone who has had the same problem i have. any help will be appreciated
thanks again tom
ps i live in zone 4
