I bought an iris plant at Stearns Farm CSA last weekend. I can't wait to see it bloom! I'll try to post some pictures if I catch it blooming! Irises are really easy to grow if you remember that they like the rhizome (root) partially exposed so it gets sun. They don't need a lot of water and they come back year after year. It's also a good idea to split the rhizome after a few years and then replanting the other rhizome separately, so you now have multiple plants.
Do you find this valuable?

Shawn and I planted a couple of raspberry bushes a few years ago. They have the teensiest buds right now, but the size of the bushes has greatly increased since last year. We also planted a small blueberry bush we got from Trombettas Farm in Marlborough (www.trombettasfarm.com). And I nearly forgot, we got some strawberry runners from Price Chopper grocery store in Marlborough. I'll have to check on those this coming weekend and see how they are doing.
