Not to worry, Janie... Iris is like a weed and doesn't much care where or when it is planted... Or if it is planted... I've dug 'um up, thrown 'um in the woods bare root and they do fine... No planting involved...
Dry here,too and worse??? Windy... Been watering the stuff in pots I dug up for the move...
Daffies pokin' their head up??? Can spring be far behind???
