I got my bulb fertilizer on the plants and you can still see the azomite around the plants due to no snow cover. Still holding in 30's and40's. Winter will really hit soon. If not, I am looking forward to spring. So now I have lilies and dahlias coming in spring and peonies next fall. I may keep some of the peonies for myself as I really love the shades I ordered as well as the forms. Just seems like the guys at the botanical garden just don't get as excited as I do about them. Course their focus is on the entire garden. Will and I did move several to better locations and moved the 2015 plantings from the research plot out to the regular garden beds. Backfilled with about 20 new ones in the research plot to see how they do.
The herb garden has been sadly neglected so that is my winter focus; working from the planting worksheets and our database IrisBG to get it up to date. Then in the spring printing signs for all the newly accessioned.
Guess all of this has nothing to do with peonies. Sorry. Just sort of thinking along
