Mon jardin 2009
injest:
my irises didnt' bloom again this year. Produced lots of leaves but no blooms.
Sheriff Roland:
Last weekend, Bryan spent two days here preparing (among other things) the vegetable (read tomato) bed. Out went the rhododendron and the dwarf lilac. The lamb's ear got moved to the corners (or part of the potted plant sale). What we're left with is a much expanded area for tomatoes and herbs (the beans are going elsewhere this year). The flowering bulb plants (iris & tulips) are to be moved come late July.
Here's an early view of that area. Also in the picture you see my new larger composter. The garage is just out of the picture, on the left.

drinking a lot of Sprite huh? ;D
Sheriff Roland:
Actually I've cut back lately. The price of 'no-name' pop has invreased by 50% in the past couple of years (0,79$ to 1,19$). So I've cut back. Plus the aspartame is not great on muscle mass (it accelerates muscle wastage - a problem that is already inherant with my condition - not to mention getting older).
Those bottles are used as cloches to protect the tomato plants against frost, so I've been saving them for over a month.
Sheriff Roland:
Here's a second variety of dwarf iris - photo taken yesterday - after the hail storm had done it's damage.
