Sunny day


The iris are picking up speed. I have four chocolate daddies and three of these generic yellows blooming at the same time. There are 30 more chocolate buds and half a dozen yellows left to bloom.

I'm so excited about their vim and vigor that I rewarded them with a drink of highly concentrated compost drippings. This super rich broth has been collecting from our composter all winter and thankfully carries very little smell. I say "thankfully" as it was a blustery, sunny day and I was pouring this elixir while standing down wind. Live and learn.
