The biggest tasks look like the dividing and pruning, as those are ongoing. Soon it'll be time for the big, pre-spring cut-back, won't it? I always feel a mix of dread about having to do it and excitement about getting it all cleaned out for spring. It was a fun surprise to see me in your scrapbook, BTW!Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-7522766917416043752013-01-06T17:29:42.307-06:002013-01-06T17:29:42.307-06:00That's a great list.

Good luck with yours & Happy New Year.<br /><br />Meryl's Tittle Tattle - A pot is a great idea - maybe that's simple enough that I could just plop them in there for this season and enjoy them on the patio or in the house.

Happy New Year to you, too.<br /><br />Shirley - Thanks! Some of it I can do now while everything is sleeping for the winter, so it will be spread out at least!<br /><br />Victoria - oh, so glad I'm not the only one who does this. And for the record, I didn't go out that day and plant a dozen really quickly. So, yes, they are still staring at me!<br /><br />Get Grounded - I hope we have another good iris year. I should have divided mine this fall but didn't get to it. I will give you some ditch lily if I ever get around to dividing it.<br /><br />Thanks, Cat. Yeah, you might not want to publish your list for your hubby to see! Happy New Year.<br /><br />David - Pretty mild winter so far - I'm up on a hill so only two freezes so far, but others have gotten quite a few more.

All mine are seed-grown. Second-year plants usually bloom and seems seed grown are sturdier if they survive that first year in zone 8.<br /><br />The pruning gets done here taken in smaller 'bites' so I'm pruning year-around despite advice to the contrary. <br /><br />Happy New Year.

As you know, mine has never bloomed, and we got them at the same time. They are so awesome! And at what point do you need to divide Iris? So far mine don't seem to be crowded. I hope with this colder weather we'll have some good Iris blooms this year, unlike last year.
