January

In the beginning of the year you would think a gardener has nothing to do.  
Due to mild temperatures here in Kentucky it allowed me to continue working
outside off and on.
Plus, it allowed me to plant bulbs much later in the season than normal.

In the early part of fall I was digging up clumps of iris rhizomes and separated them
into new individual plants.  You just feel sorry for them when you find them all growing together.
Its like they are suffocating.  This was from an inspiring youtube British show on iris plants.
These are just a few of those jobs that are done in the fall.  Its actually just as a
busy time but just different than the normal growing season.

The other task was to combat the weeds that thought they were going to take over.
I have to tell you about a british gardener that I follow.
she put one up on getting rid of weeds.
