Oh, I love the irises! They're about the only thing the deer don't chomp down to nubs, too. I need more of the super-dark purple irises, I ended up with mostly orange and orange-brown. Have some pink, some white, some white & purple, and some yellowish & purple. Oh, and some Dutch irises. We also have the native Sierra irises growing wild, but none on the property.
The iris are in full bloom now, we have 4 different colors going now, the big purple ones are about played out, others are going full tilt. me and one of the grandbabies picked ms mogrow a bouquet of native flowers for mothers day, i was a star for a day, well maybe a couple hours...........
girls are liking being under the HPS, solid growth. topdressed most of the plants yesterday with EWC and some mulch. laid about 2 or 3 inches down. This should give them the extra push for going into flower. I want flower outputmaximus.
yesterday i mixed up some dirt for the next seed and clone run. started out with the dirt from the last veg run, i added 15 gallons of my homemade compost and 2 bags of EWC, store bought:confused:, some kelp, crushed limestone and rock phosphate, little dab of DE, and some neem and karanja meal. came back today soil was only slightly hot to the touch, i am going to add alfalfa meal to heat it up more. let her sit for a week or so while the clones are rooting and then its go time.:woot:
sorry about the hps shot, tried to get there before lights on but timer is off a touch.'
