One hundred police officers have died nationwide so far in 2015 while in the line of duty, up 15 percent from this time last year, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, a nonprofit law enforcement information clearinghouse.
Bearded irises grow well in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 10. The best time to divide these plants is four to six weeks after they bloom -- midsummer to early fall -- every two to three years when blooming decreases.
To keep Siberian iris blooming its bodacious best, it should be divided whenever the plant outgrows its boundaries, or when the middle of the clump begins to die down. Divide Siberian iris in early spring, just after new growth emerges, or in late summer or early autumn, after the plant has finished blooming. Prepare the ground for the newly divided Siberian iris. Remove rocks and large clods, then using a garden fork or a shovel, cultivate the soil to a depth of at least 8 inches.
