I ordered some Japanese iris and a few more bearded iris. What can I say, the deals are crazy. What are you going to do, just not buy irises?
I have one more iris shopping cart built, but, only allowed to buy it if I finish up potting all my remaining dahlias by Sunday evening. I did get a lot done on Sunday- used up all my 7 gallon and 5 gallon pots and was filling 3 gallons when I noticed that spouse had nicked the irrigation hose with the weed wacker and flooded my whole small potted area. Shut the hose off but had to temporarily move all my small pots to higher ground because they were sitting in an inch of water. I need a hose you can't cut with a weed wacker apparently- spouse keeps insisting you can't cut a hose with a weed wacker, but, here I am on my 5th hose of the season. I probably should just run PVC at this point- that is, if he can't cut it with the weedwacker. Eh, just looked it up, PVC also cuts with a weed wacker. At this point I've spent so much on replacement 100 foot hoses that I could have done irrigation twice- though, I would have had to do irrigation more than that as spouse isn't careful with the weedwacker at all.
On the bright side, everything bigger that needed a bigger pot is in one and all the pots are weeded again. I need to go through and remove the dead ones from my plant list, fortunately mostly just duplicate dahlia tubers and nothing to be that upset about. I'm still figuring out dahlias- maybe I will keep them on my covered porch longer next year. All I have left are little ones that would be fine in a 1 gallon a bit longer, but, don't really want it to get away from me and will probably move them all up to 3 gallons this week just to have it done. After that, I'll just move any that seem giant up into 7 gallon pots. Should have some of those freed up again shortly when I get the spring clearance peonies in the ground. Their spot is almost ready. It's so close to ready- but trying not to rush it. I feel like one more week with the tarp on the grass and I will have a much easier time pulling the dead grass/weeds.
