Liz this is the best bunch of people. I am a bit speechless. Which is quite a new condition for me.
I will talk with Mike and see what he says. I think we could accommodate new plants in the research plot. He was talking about maybe developing a large display there of just peonies. Not fancy - pretty much rows - but with great signage and what would be fantastic is if we find that indeed we can grow and bloom tree peonies. NO ONE does that here. The old "they said it couldn't be done." Except it has been done by me in my garden and then this spring in their garden. We moved those trees out into the main gardens in various spots and I am absolutely chewing my nails to see what happens in the spring. They all had wonderful root masses and I bought azomite for them which Will put around all the new or moved peonies. Need to be sure they do some top dressing in spring to get food to them all. They are purely organic so I have to be careful what I buy for them. I guess I need Mike or Will to research then tell me what they need. Or simply have them order/buy it and I will pay for it. I so much want them to be successful. They work so hard and have so little.
Sorry, sounds like I am begging. I am not. Truly. I get carried away I guess.
Wanting them to be successful.
