Unreal...............we have nothing, but nobody comes by for halloween anyways.

Man you really do get into the Halloween spirit and I sure am enjoying every bit of what you do Colleen! I love that hanging freaky looking bat guy

Thanks for looking at all the scary stuff, don't know if I will have many kids this year, cause lots of the homes are still empty down here due to sewer backup, caused by the spring flooding, and wonder when the people will be back in there homes. There is a lot of people still out of their homes cause they can't get anyone to fix it yet as there is a long waiting list.

I love Halloween, and it gives me something to keep me busy during the fall season. I need to get the lights all lit up before Halloween gets here. I think I was deprived of Halloween as a child, mom said it was evil, I could not see how dressing up and having fun getting free candy could be bad!

She didn't want to pay dentist bills for all you guys lol.

I been leaving posts for you everywhere. Question, what do I do will the yellow iris's for the winter?

 

[callingcolleen1]

Leave the iris right in the water in the pond, that is what I do every year. Those irises are very hardy and impossible to kill! Ha ha ha!

Nice Haloween set up for sure.

I kept them in pots. 2 large in 8 inch pots, 5 variegated yellow iris in 6" pots. Do I take them all out of pots and how much under the water line should they be?

thks

 

[callingcolleen1]

The varigated iris not as hardy, that may not survive our winters, the others can be left in pots in the pond with couple inches of water over the crown.
My iris is not in a pot, and they will bust out of pots very soon. When that happens, just remove the broken pot and then place the clump back in shallow water wth a few rocks to keep it in place.
