the little pitbull helps plant iris.

this past weekend, the little pitbull helped us put some iris rhizomes into the ground in the backyard!

her name is jane.

mom rescued the iris from a friend's yard, and now we have a crop of iris rhizome split between us. andrew and i decided to put ours in the backyard, in a pine-strawed natural area that was already there.

this is an iris rhizome.
this is the future iris patch!
jane is helping.
finishing touches!
baby iris. see you next spring!

i've never tried planting bulbs, but i would love to plant more. we'll see how this experiment turns out!

  1. Hope they work! Actually, I think these are summer bloomers. Never grew them myself so I'm not super sure about that! Just wait and see.
