Community people & events Jon Harvey Ramelli 3-23-1945 ~ 2-26-2008 In Loving Memory, you are missed everyday by your friends and family Police reports Bearded iris companions By Lorna Bonham If you grow the traditional tall bearded iris, you know that their brilliant color adds a beautiful site to your garden in the late spring. The problem is that, while the tradi- tional iris are beautiful, they have a short blooming season and are not very attractive as summer advances and the iris leaves get torn and look rather forlorn and scraggly. In fact, several years ago, I thought they were so unattractive that I planted a miniature boxwood around the exposed side of the iris bed to mask the appearance of the iris, but this only works if you view the bed from a distance. There are two other solutions to this problem. First, not all iris bloom only in late spring, some bloom again in the late summer and fall and there are a number of com- panion plants that can be planted in the iris bed. First, many of the newer iris, are what is called re-blooming iris. They no longer bloom just once late in the spring but, will bloom again in late summer and into the fall. Yes, they will bloom again in August, September, or October. This year, because of the warm weather late in November, I had a bearded iris that had already bloomed in late June, also bloom again the first of December. Actually, the first fall bloom on that iris opened fully on the second of December, when it snowed in Tehama County. Fortunately, iris breeders have been hard at work developing longer-blooming bearded iris with more buds and thicker petals, which help each flower last longer. It is true that the re-bloomers may not always re-bloom at the same time every year or re-bloom at all but if water and fertilizer are continued the chances are excellent that they will bloom again in the fall. Their is also a re-blooming Iris Society on the internet that can help in your search for re-blooming iris. The second solution, if you would like a more colorful attrac- tive Iris bed and only have tradi- tional spring blooming iris, another alternative is to use companion annual or perennials plants. All of the annuals being suggest- ed are in USDA hardiness zone 3-9 such as cosmos (Cosmos bipinna- tus), lobelia (Lobelia erinus), salvia (Salvia splendens), and marigolds (Tagetes). A few perennials that pair well with iris are Russian sages (Per- ovskia zones 6-9), peonies (Paeonia zones 3-8) and garden phlox (Phlox paniculata, zone 4-8) As with any companion planting, select plants that grow well in your climate and can thrive in the same cultural conditions as your bearded iris: partial to full sun, good drainage and neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Hopefully these suggestions will provide thoughts about your iris bed and how you might add to its beauty and look into getting some iris that will re-bloom.

Pray for rain Mill Creek Baptist Church will hold a prayer for rain at 10 a.m. each Saturday at 24145 Taft Street — on the corner of99E and Taft — just north of Los Molinos. California is suffering from a severe drought. Last year was California's driest year on record. And despite recent rains, this year is shaping up to be even worse. California produces about one-third of the nation's veg- etables and two-thirds of its fruits and nuts. But most farm- ers are not optimistic about this year's growing season. Recently, the federal government decided not to send farmers any of their much-needed water. As a result many farmers are not planting their crops and many ranchers are slaughtering off their meat and dairy herds due to the high cost of feed. Droughts cause higher food prices, higher taxes and lower property values, none of which the economy can afford at this time. Tehama County's economy is pri- marily based on agriculture. When its farmers and ranchers suffer, all residents suffer. That's why Mill The county-wide prayer meetings for rain will con- tinue until it rains. If you're shy, come pray in the quietness of your own heart. If there's not a shy bone in your body, feel free to lead all in a prayer for rain. For more information, call Pastor Carl at 384-0254.
