Beautiful garden lovely colors and textures. So lush. There is a huge variety of plants for interest and flowers to croon over all 4 seasons.

Anyone interested in growing peonies they need a chill for about 6 weeks with temps below 40' to set bloom. A cross between the tree peony and herbaceous peony known as Intersectional or aka Itoh do better in zones 9-10 . They die to the ground and come up in spring. They require shade in the heat of the summer . Once established they don't require a lot of maintenance. Bulb mites, mice , gophers, woodchucks and other critters are known to eat the roots .
I’m so busy... “I don’t know if I found a rope or lost a horse.”
