Gardener's Delight

Lamb's Ears are among the most beautiful weeds in the world. Once seeded, they tend to pop up everywhere. This blog will be something like that--a variety of things popping up:
Animals, flowers, landscaping, trees, shrubs, anything from the tremendous variety of nature.

We may review a few books and products.

Irises: Reliable and Steady like Old Friends

 A common as they are, there are good reasons for having Iris in your garden. They grow just about everywhere, in good and poor soils, and they come in a variety of colors. Hungry deer will eat the stalks in early spring, but soon abandon them to eat better tasting vegetation. Deer will totally abandon Iris when they have better choices and I've never seen the deer eating Irises during or after their blooms.
