Re: CULT: TB Fall Growth Question

Hi,

I expect killing frost by the first week of November.  That does not always
happen.

Late in October I cut all of my Iris to the Rhizome and clean up any leaves
laying around.  Some grow a bit before the freeze and in the spring I have
very little clean up.  In addition those new increases grow like champs.
