Hello all,
It has been cold and icy here though no snow so far. Right now it is just rain, rain, rain, as usual.
I checked up on my home in Florida and was so happy to see the sun and wear shorts!!! It was a little tough coming back.
Before I know it I will be in California helping my sister with the irises.
First, though, I signed up for a shift at the iris booth at the Seattle Flower and Garden Show the end of February. My irises would really like to see some sunshine and dry out!
The soil I used for my pots this year just holds the moisture too long. It might be good for some plants but my irises like to dry out. They also like to see the sun! I have moved most of the pots into the carport where there was a little room and on the front porch (you can't get to the front door) and they line the back steps which have some protection too. We are all ready for a pleasant change in the weather.
I have a bunch of indoor plants that need attention, too. My husband did a good job taking care of them and the cats while I was busy in Florida. I didn't have much time to enjoy the sunshine but enjoyed being in shorts.
I am sure looking forward to better weather.
