That sounds great @SweetMissDaisy. If there is anything I have posted that you specifically want just let me know and I will save it for you.
Some of the iris are leaving today. The folks are coming with their pick-up so I can fill up the bed, they are taking them up to their property where we camp. Unfortunately Dad says only one load so there will still be more... I dug clumps when I took them up which has helped keep them fresh and all they need is the dirt scratched and set down, I'm not sure if I can go help unload tomorrow so that should help lessen the work.

I am self-employed so I can be home most anytime, let's work on a date, later in the summer, so we can have a "meet-n-greet"!
(Fair warning: I do a lot more yardwork than I do housework...
)

I'm self employed too, and we can just hang out in the garden. Who does housework in the summer?

I am not self employed so will have to work around work hours a bit, but as long as I have a bit of lead time I can make just about any time work, excet Friday before noon.
Like ThistleBloom said, some raspberries would be delightful! I pick at a neighbors house but would like to establish a small patch of my own. I have a couple starts I dug from my Gramma's before we sold her place, but need to relocate them from within reach of the goats...and deer.
As for other plants, I'm game for most anything really. The previous owners of this place dug up most of what was here and not much has come back. So I'm having to fill beds in slowly. I have about a dozen deer in the 'hood that help themselves to much of what I grow, so deer resistant plants are best for me. Although, the fawns still find it necessary to taste test everything. Last year I had branches of bleeding hearts scattered around the back yard several days in a row. I'm convinced that one by one they lined up at the flower bed and "Eeeeewww, that tastes terrible. You try!" Until the last fawn pulled the last bit of plant from the bed.

I really, really want to.
Maybe I can talk D.H> into a trip to the NW after retirement. (His plan is to retire in Oct 2018!)
