It's A Peony Parade

I love this time of year when the peonies are blooming, the sun is shining and everything is right with the world. OK, these plants really, really put me in a good mood! ...»

I have three of them so far and am going to pick up one or two more this weekend. The ONLY downfall to these plants is that the blooms get so stinking big that they tend to fall over, but I have peony rings around them to keep them as upright as possible.

  • There's only one flower spike in about five iris plants in my garden.
  • It's gorgeous, but lonely
  • Love the colour variations between the upper and lower petals. Plus the nectar stripes are so pretty.

Gardening: One Lonely Iris

Last year, I planted a number of iris cuttings from a friend. The only one to bloom has just opened. They are in full sun and I planted them shallow as I've done before successfully. What could be wrong?

    Sunlight, and not soil on bulbs' surfaces is mandatory for iris' bloom production.

  • Succulent Gardens are easy to create and super easy to care for.
  • We used PVC pipe and cut it at an angle
  • Spray painted with stone paint
  • Fill with pea gravel for drainage and soil. Then planted the succulents.
  • Some of the plants were also planted in the ground.
  • Since there were some questions about Indoor Succulent Gardens, I thought I would add a photo of the one we created for indoors. They do great indoors.

    You need to check on each individual plant for hardiness.

  • A gift from my son, who knows my fetish oh so well.
  • Hostas in containers.
  • The iron work on the fence is a bit of an old bench. I moved this chair into this area and added a bicycle basket planter on the fence.
  • My tower has grown by one more level this year and continues to be one of my favorite elements. 1
  • I have such a fetish for galvanized stuff.
  • My neighbors had to remove four towering pines this spring..changing the quality of light.
  • Hangers on the shed with spray painted pots.
  • Wax begonias under planting boxwoods in patio pots. 1
  • A bit of silliness.
  • I love geraniums.
  • I love container gardening, especially when I can put together unusual combinations of greenery.
  • Just another view of one of two thrifted planters...my husband dreams of huge ceramic planters and I dream of affording them!
  • Hose wreath number two--yep, I am so cheap, er thrifty,that I cut one hose in two.
  • A moment of silence for the three trees we lost this winter.  Hello roses.
  • So, if you have an old aquarium stand laying about, I have a suggestion for you.

Beginning to Look Like Spring...

It sure feels like my garden is off to a very slow start. What a Schizophrenic start we have had to the growing season. In just a few short weeks we have had snow, 100 degree temperatures, and a bit of a cold snap.

Gardening: What is this? Is it a weed or a type of spinach

I found this growing in my carrot bed this spring, I let it grow but I still haven't figured out what it is. I shared my vegetable garden with my neighbor last season and I know he planted something late last summer. The simple resolution would be to ask him but he moved. Anyone with suggestions would be much appreciated,
