seasonal love affair
I'm not sure if peony season came on schedule this year or not, but it did show up and that is frankly all that matters.
My peony plants on the South side of the house had such a strong showing in their second year. Very proud of those babes. The only downside is they get so much sun that the season for them feels faster than the rest of my neighborhood. The good news is that I have other peonies that I can easily access to get my sniff on. My Aunt kindly lets me steal time with her peonies ... which we've since learned Siri autocorrects to "panties".
My peony inventory:
- 6 on the South Side, year 2 of blooming. bought from Lowe's. added cages for support this year. fertilized with a low nitrogen fertilizer in the spring and fungicide last fall.
- 2 on the North Side, year 1 of blooming. bought them from Whole Foods last year. Minimal blooms but it was the first year. added cages for support this year. fertilized with a low nitrogen fertilizer in the spring and fungicide last fall.
- Recently added 2 more to the North Side. bought from Lowe's
