I am jealous on both counts. My rootstock peony I planted 2 years ago finally came up last year, and was promptly weed-eaten by my fiance. It thankfully came up again this year, but no buds or blooms yet. Planted 3 more (yes 3!), all different varieties next to the house this year. So hopefully in a couple of years I will be replete with gorgeous peonies! I did Sarah Bernhardt, Sorbet (so pretty!), Shirley, and a darker pink single bloom – I forget what it’s called. Can’t wait to see them come up. I’ll have to settle for Icelandic poppies this year, if they ever grow more than a few inches….

There is a lot to envy about the Dutch climate, though, especially going into our super hot, dry, and yet humid summer…

I am glad you are having a nice spring. Ours has been very humid and rainy. Your peonies are gorgeous… love the bright pink! Mine have already bloomed for the spring and I miss them.

(I’m always a little envious when I see your pictures, in a good way!)

We have a whole bunch of light pink peonies almost in bloom. It’s such an exciting thing, because they really are the most beautiful plant we have in our garden.

Because they’re so tart and so sparse, I think I’ll sweeten and fill them out with rough and ready custard when I get around to making a pie of them. Sparks and I spent a companionable evening leaning on […]

I looked in the fridge and saw leftover boiled potatoes, some fresh asparagus, leftover diced ham, and some gorgonzola cheese. With some leftover radish butter (butter creamed with minced radish leaves), an onion, and a little milk it made a divine hash.

I have the one in the third photo and it blooms lavender. Our house is north facing (never again will we buy a north facing home) anyway hostas are about the only thing I can get to grow out there.

I guess the ideal would be to meet in the middle!
