Bearded irises can be divided any time after your last frost date in the spring, but many irisarians believe the optimal time to divide them is 6-8 weeks after bloom. Avoid transplanting irises in very hot weather (90+ F degrees), but do get them tr This thread came from the Soil, Compost and Mulch forum. Don't laugh too much - if you are a serious gardener these symptoms will soon be appearing in you. Enjoy. You Know You are a Compost Whacko When.......

The best time for Bearded Iris and Louisiana Iris is generally immediately after flowering or in late autumn - early winter. If it is too close to flowering time, bloom will be small, late or not happen at all, but won't damage the plant. Moving during summer is OK, but bearded iris don't grow much over summer so don't water them a lot to get them to grow, you will only induce rot. Irises that go dormant (Siberian, Spuria and Japanese and bulbs) are best moved during dormancy. See similar questions...

Every three to four years you should dig, thin, and replant bearded irises in late summer or early autumn. Keep the rhizomes which have white roots and green leaves. Discard the rest. For easier planting, trim the roots to two inches long. Cut the leaves back to about six inches in length with the center leaf of the fan being the longest. See similar questions...

Not much. Ordinarily, average rainfall is adequate. The fastest way to kill your irises is to water them excessively during the summer when it is hot. See similar questions...

In warmer climates, plant the iris with the top of the rhizome just below ground level. In colder climates, plant the iris about one-half to one inch deep. Water well after planting; then water again in a couple of days. After that, normal rainfall should be adequate. See similar questions...

Fertilize your irises twice a year using a formula that is high in phosphorus (that is the middle number). Do not feed lawn fertilizer to irises or allow lawn fertilizer to travel into the iris beds. Lawn fertilizer is high in nitrogen (that is the first number) which causes lush growth and little to no flowering. See similar questions...

Tall bearded irises (over 27") should be planted 12 to 18 inches apart. Median irises (between 10" and 26") should be planted 8 to 12 inches apart. They need the space to expand as they multiply. See similar questions...

For most plants here the windows of opportunity are January through March and September through November. For large, old, landscape specimens of Bougainvillea only, the best time is the middle of summer. Get club member advice on specifics. See similar questions...

That will vary with the type of perennial, but, in general terms, types that flower in the fall should be transplanted in the spring, while those that bloom in the spring and summer should be dug and divided in the fall. See similar questions...

Daylilies should be dug and divided in late summer or early fall. This gives the plants time to become established before winter sets in. See similar questions...

Because you are a good and caring person who wants to do something good for a dog. You are willing to open you home to a dog in need and spend time getting that dog adjusted to his new home.

The best time to divide perennials depends on your climate. Here in Montana, it's usually mid to late April and early fall, from late August through September. In colder climates, spring division is preferred because it allows plants plenty of time to settle in before winter. In hot-summer climates, fall is the best time to divide; plants divided in spring may not become established before the arrival of the heat. A few plants insist on their own timetable.

Yes. Airedales are Terriers. Terriers are earth-dogs. You must expect any Airedale to dig. Some Airedales dig more than others. We find that there are particular times when the Airedales do more digging, such as spring time or when puppies are in the house. You may need to block off particular sections of your yard that you especially do not want the dog to dig in. See similar questions...
