Good morning Robert! I found your channel several weeks ago and am a devoted fan. I've learned more from you and your "messy" gardening than I have from anything else. What a load off my mind! I'm heading to my cabin and zone 5 woodland messy garden soon and I'll be implementing many tips I've learned from you. Too many favourite videos to list but I'll be dividing and transplanting perennials before June 1st despite black flies, checking for hellebore seedlings and mapping my sun shade areas.

You really simplify gardening processes and take away a lot of fear and confusion. It has encouraged me to try more propagating and dividing. Thanks for what you do!

Good video, Robert. Could you do a video on the actual Iris bulb itself on how to over winter inside? Thanks

The fourth reason to divide perinnials is because you want to spread the beauty around the yard.

Does this work with woody perennials? I have several salvia greggii that grow and grow and grow until they randomly die back. There will be a dead Woody stem and further out there will be new growth.

I always thought the reason why plants go bold on the middle was becouse roots (at the center) was to "compressed" or "crowded' and needs or was necessery do some devision or "decompression" of the roots. Am I wrong to think this way?
