I send the best of wishes for your possible new babies. Isn't it exciting to find new information? I love it!
This... I hope, should be the best year for my peony, I am determined to learn all I can about each one, to help them be all they are meant to be. There isn't much else for me to do in the winter, I don't care for the cold, so I stay indoors. Gardening and especially accomplishing what I was told I couldn't do LOL is of great satisfaction to me. I have even considered sinking tree pots in the ground to grow them in their own soil. But I don't believe I will have to go that far. (Though if I end up with one of your horror stories, I wonder if tree pots with screen in the hole couldn't help? Hmm?) That's a tough one. I've had squirrels chew a red plastic gas can and the plastic top of the tractor's gas lid. Sorry but I'm thinking out loud here.... perhaps my latest endeavor into hypertufa (a lightweight cement/peat/perlite creation) could be a good answer.
I see I have much to study.
As much as I love their dried pods in a flower arrangement.... I'm happy you've found they could do more for you. I think that's just awesome.
