After a little break for holydays we went back to our cultivation. Actually the month of September is usually a very hard and important one. We have to dig out the roots and split them, dry the roots and prepare the products.
In the meanwhile we went on with the plantation till up to 15.500 new iris roots (end October 2017) of Iris Germanica, Iris Pallida (the most), Iris Florentina, and some specific Hybrids like "Big Squeeze" (Black) and "Ruffled Godness" (Rose colour) (from a top French supplier).
As it is clear in the top picture we also decide to modify our system of displaying the foil. This new system actually provides a lot of saving in time and in foil. The idea is also to obtain a faster way - in 3/4 years - to dig out the roots.
Top: the 1 year iris cultivation and the new plantation

Bottom: some pictures taken in a wonderful day of October 2017, at sunset. The (almost) total amount of new iris is visible in the photos
Top & Bottom: it's possible to see also all the protection in wood to defend the cultivation from bomb of water. Alongside the squares deep ditches were dug to collect the water and avoid damages to the flowers
