Default Iris replanted

Hi "Starlord"
Doesn't Antifreeze kill plants? Also it is bad for the environment no?
Cheers Wendy

A combo of Ground Squarrls and Jackribbits, the photo with this ones shows
the iris rhizome has been dug out by the critters from above the ground. I
did find one thing that would stop them, but have not been able to get
anymore yet, but it's something that easy to get once I'm over the car
wreck more, good old anti-frizze, the 5 iris I put it on have not been
touched since I did.

yet be brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond
the heavens.

This shows what I was able to do on monday, I put what was left of the
iris
in this bed into pots and whatever was eating the iris didn't touch
these
last night. It's hard for me to do this, but this is about the only way
I'm
going to save any iris from my garden.


Probably Moles. :-(
We had them when we lived in that general area (Lake Hughes).

Too bad your kitties (like ours) are all indoors. We had one gray tabby
female named "Patience" that was death on Moles!

Might just want to consider giant container gardens. It conserves water
anyway?
