Hi everyone! It looks like there will be some beautiful peonies pics next year of newly planted peonies. Wow, your soil looks so loamy, Oldgardenrose. I wish mine is half as good. No wonder your peonies do so nicely! Can I ask how do you make humus? I have been adding mushroom soil to my hard clay but it hardly makes a dent. I have begun to add some sand to my soil. I think it makes a huge difference.
I placed an order with Fina Gardens early in the year and thought wrongly that I was done. When Liz posted the Gilbertwild sale and Select Plus itohs, I could not help myself and added to 10 more peonies to the garden. I should not have ordered this many peonies this year as I do not have ready beds for them. Anyway somehow I found room to fit them all in.
From Fina Gardens, I ordered double fernleaf, Gay Paree, and Raspberry Charm. From GW, I got Lustrous, Carina, Edward Flynn, Dresden Pink, and Madame de Verneille. From Select Plus, I got Strawberry Creme Brulee, Magical Mystery Tour, and Halleigh's Hallelujah. I am really excited about the itohs and the double fernleaf. Hopefully, I get some flowers from them next year.
Karen
