The vegetable garden here is huge, but I dont take photos of it it because IT ISN’T FLOWERS IS IT? And therefore does not count. We have beets but not sure about cabbage. Currently we have spinach coming out of our ears.Originally Posted by littlebittybobby
Just going to tag onto your garden thread here to say my potatoes are doing really well. I had a 5 gallon bucket leftover from last year and they were sitting by the back door and they had sprouted, what we did not eat, so back the first week of April I just laid them on the ground and put flakes of the sodden house hay (used to insulate house) over them. They are coming up through the hay, nice green plants about five inches tall now. No tilling at all, just laid them on the frosty ground and covered them with the hay. We even had a snow after I did it, and they were still okay.
I abandoned an iris bed for being too wet and DH has taken it over and put in potatoes. We shall see how well they do.
I don’t garden and never liked digging in the dirt, but I love seeing your photos and hearing about your gardens!
I thought iris did well in moist/soggy soil. I was somewhat considering planting iris versicolor down by the lake. Does it depend on the variety of iris?

Yes, I recall... I didn't know if other iris also liked water.

Louisianas and Japanese iris like water. Pseudacorous iris like water too.
Most bearded iris are desert plants but they do fine in the Midwest with normal Midwestern rains.
Aril iris ( a bearded type) struggle in my climate and barely make it, but they love the arid Western United States. They are native to Iran.
