Ice cubes on peonies ....now there's a dedicated gardener.
12 degrees here this morning so things which need a good chill are getting it. Here we covet all the lovely tropicals that can be grown in warmer climates. I would really miss lilacs if I couldn't grow them, and peonies, tulips, daffs..and then bearded iris and hosta do better with a winter dormancy. It's always fun to grow something that is not supposed to prosper in our area.
