I have quite a few clumps of Irises which need to be divided and transplanted after they ‘re done blooming. The only problem is, once they are done blooming, I quickly forget which clusters are what color.
On Sunday, I picked up a book at the library which is full of great gardening tips.
One tip said to take a sharpie and write the color of the iris on one of its leaves to help you remember which are which later. (Duh! Why didn’t think of that??) The author said the writing would last just long enough to still be visible when you are ready to transplant. LOVE that!
I immediately took my sharpie on a walk and gave my neighbors something new to chuckle over.
The book is called 1,001 Gardening Secrets The Experts Never Tell You, by Gayle K. Wood. Great book!
