Twice in One Week

I am not usually online but about 2 times a week. I check emails from my phone but that is about it but I had taken quite a few photos lately and just wanted to get them posted. 
An update on my iris bed.....we are downsizing it drastically. It was just too hard to keep the weeds at bay especially the grass so it will now be about 1/3 the size it was. Here is the new start to the bed. 
It may even by 1/4th the size it was. I'm wanting some antique roses but have always had trouble growing them except a rugosa rose that took over one time and had to finally remove it. But I'm wanting some beige and pink colored roses. I'm also wanting peonies as well. The bulbs are expensive so not sure that will happen.

You know my love of weird things...especially spider webs and toadstools. Well found this toadstool by our driveway. Looks like someone took a swatch off the top.

We have to really keep cutting back our muscadine grapes. They have had a hair cut and are loaded with fruit.
We used to have 5 producing vines but they were too much too handle for us in our aging. So we are down to 2. This is what they do about spreading. These are the roots that drop down from the vines. In their natural habitat they can take over trees and strangle them.
We have some ground cover that came up voluntarily and have no idea what it is..it looks a little like tiny tiny bamboo, but doesn't grow up like bamboo.

It might be good for a terrarium. 
Well that's all folks...and as always...
