Holly,
Is there a reason you say i should not dig up the iris?
Is there a negative something attached if i do? is it too late to mess with them?
They will soon be shooting up. Is that a problem?

There is not much roots to worry about on an Iris clump. And--getting rid of the old
root sections (The bottom of the "Y"--no longer producing) will open up a bit of space too.

I am willing to listen to anyone's advice on this....It is just that i do not see any issues...

Thanks, Gita

JB---I would change the title a bit and move it on. It took about 1 month to get to
the 226 posts here--so something suitable to April sliding into May would be OK.
Maybe something to do with "what we are planting?"--as jen said....
Or--what are you changing in your garden for this spring?
Or--What will you be growing to take to the Plant swap? etc...etc...etc....

A small change in a Thread's title can bring on a whole new aspect to what people are posting.
Just think of something YOU are doing--or soon WILL be doing and pick a nice title...
GO FOR IT!!!
