I have been realizing a lot of those little chores that used to bother you when you were growing up can be very rewarding when you own your own home. One of those things is weeding. What was once a pesky task my Mom wanted us to do has become an empowering quest for a great looking garden; same with watering, it is really cool keeping plants alive.
One of my favorite flowers are iris. Shorty before we closed on the house Marilyn gave me a box of bulbs from a neighbors yard of heirloom iris bulbs. I planted them in our yard but wasn’t very hopeful about getting them to bloom this year. I however got a little lucky, one iris did bloom,
and I got even more lucky since the side yard was full of iris already. Our yard also has come into bloom with daisies, roses, and peonies.
