It might be a better choice than the roses because the soil is pretty poor under the maple tree. Yep, I think I like it!


Yesterday I mowed and we ate the first batch of spinach. We have mosquitoes as I predicted. I'm not sure how. All our rain has soaked in. There isn't much standing.
I took pictures of all the iris that are blooming. I'm trying to identify some of my older varieties. It's harder than you think. They don;t match up well enough so I title it ''maybe'' and ''possibly'' this, LOL!
I did find the one I call Mom's Stitched is indeed Mme Chereau. It has many different faces and most are a deeper purple. Mine is truly this light color and beautiful.
