Peonies are my favorite flower and this is their season.
To me this is a painting.
Raindrops on peonies.
Beautiful blue with poppies vase/container, holds 4 litres of water !
Then there is the wedding dahlia progress, now up several inches and so far not visited by garden insects (weeds yes).
The raised garden tomatoes are doing well as are the beans, kale, radishes, beans and just a few carrots. Found the first brown slugs of the year in my garden, tough to see against the soil, they love the marigolds.
Peaches is keeping watch.
I forgot to take a before photo of the vase so I did and then rearranged the peonies again (front and back views).
Thank you for stopping by.
See you again on Thursday.

A very happy birthday, Sister dear. I know this year will be 1000% better than last.
ReplyDeleteYour peonies in that gorgeous blue and white vase are beautiful! I love marigolds but it doesn't matter where I hide them the slugs find and devour them. Happy Year!!!~
ReplyDeleteI too love peonies though I don't have my own bush...I enjoy my sister's MIL's adjacent to my property. Your photos are absolutely stunning!!! I remember as a young married the first place we rented was out in the country and there was a peony bush on the propery. I cut loads of them and brought them in and discovered they were loaded with ants later on, lol!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!!!! :) XO
