Much of our garden is under water. You can see the mulch under the water where the potatoes grew last year.

It looks like we may not be able to work that area until Memorial Day. That’s OK though since we can change our original plan and plant the warm weather crops into that area later on.
I was really hoping to expand the garden further to the north this spring, but that will have to wait.
Along with some moisture tolerant weeds, a clump of Yellow Iris is the only thing thriving.
These Irises were started from seed a few years ago. I’m not sure exactly what species this is. It very well may be the species that has been causing trouble in other states by becoming invasive.
Here in our garden it is behaving itself. The clump has slowly grown in size from four small plants to a clump about three feet in diameter.

They’ll put on a nice of flowers for us a little later in the season. I’ll post some photos later when they blossom. I’ll also get a chance to identify them to see what variety they are while they are in bloom.
