Hi Cheryl,

I am familiar with growing irises in NH. The problem there tends to be soil
too high in organic content and/or clay, hence not draining sufficiently.
Irises do like to be soaked now and then, but they thrive compared to other
plants in locations where the soil is sandy and periodically gets very dry.

Which is why I only considered certain areas of the yard - a little lean and
well drained. I'm leaving them in their old home with a little amending and
it easy not to water that bed when I've decided I HAVE to water.

Thanks
