Iris lore and spring pea planting in late winter garden notes
A botanical piece links iris legends to spring gardening and bearded and beardless varieties. It notes Clovis I drawing his army across a river after spotting yellow flag iris, details growing needs for Siberian and Louisiana irises, and gives care tips, planting depth, sun, and soil guidance. The column shifts to peas with historical tidbits, early sowing on St Patrick's Day, and practical tips for snow peas, sugar snaps, and snow pea varieties with seed sources.
