Rain, sunshine, rain, sunshine, wind. I know that my little garden is enjoying the rain and the sunshine but the wind...enough already. The wind broke 2 of my iris's the other day. I can't really complain because I just brought them in and have had a wonderful time watching them open. I have been mulching my plants recently with some great compost from friends but I have decided that I need to put down some actual mulch. I put down a ton of pine mulch last year and have heard that you need to change each time you do this. Well, now of course I can't find where I read this to find out what I should use next. (Maybe I just had a delusional gardening moment. ) I might go with crypress, but I might be able to get some free wood chips. I'm just not sure if you should put down "green" wood chips - last thing I want is to bring in bugs. I know we have a master gardener hotline up here, as soon as I find the number I will call. Of course, I will just have to sit back, and wait for the weather to figure out what it is doing. This is really not such a bad thing. Really. </div> <a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_mLtx660bknM/SDMnbj-_qmI/AAAAAAAAALg/dj2lh9sDtS4/s1600-h/iris+in+the+rain+2a.jpg"></a></div>Gypsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731726069704616467noreply@blogger.com
