Love that Peony Pat! it looks good enough to eat....does it smell like berries really??

Southeast, MA(Zone 6b)

I think it smells more like raspberries wrapped in a peony but it is a stinker for sure.

That's a pretty one Mona. I like the single blossoms, they are so elegant. Most of mine are pass-alongs, deep pink double old time peonies. The flowers are not quite as large as the one I posted earlier but they stand up tall without any support. The other one needs a hoop the flowers are so heavy.

that is why I like the one I posted only one year I had to tie it with four pole because we had a bad wind storm and the next morning it was on the ground so I had to pick it up
one year out of 10 not bad planted some last year hoping to see them bloom this year I also have to move two from the past owner lol she planted them in the shade.

Hey schicken Sherrie are ya gonna grow different plants this year to keep up with these guys and gals?

Havent really thought of it Why?

Your garden would be really better!

What is better?

Twisted Sister You know you have seen it here. Good gosh girl! All the beautiful pictures that Victor and Pirl and Polly and Seandor took and shared with you. Dont that make you feel like you can continue with making your garden shine?

Oh my memory is comming back - and bigcityAl.

Twisted Sister Well confess - whats stopping you, if anything? Afraid to get dirty?

No - so what is your POINT ?

Twisted Sister To point you in the right direction.

Dont ever give up, your affection will never to be replaced.

So affection is good? I still have a heatbeat !

Twisted Sister Yes for that one thing that makes you feel good.

My heart is for all the pictures and stuff I have learnt here. My HOME , the love of my life (other than DH) and so many friends. Brilliant people. Oh I am getting oozzy, poofy like a flower.

Twisted Sister It is like you and others that make flowers and plants grow and share your wisdom. Its not poofy it is colorful, lustre and green. Hues and shades, there is no bounds with good people.

Twisted Sister Again - Your friends here will share. Not just with you but everyone that can put their hearts and mind into it. Polly, Pirl, Seandor and Victor. You know they are great, and you can always ask for help and they will provide with bountiful information.

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Lends new meaning to 'Cabin Fever' doesn't it? lol

Twisted Sister No your OK Sherrie. Stand tough. You know where your heart is. If you did not want to be here you would of never started to garden. You said "This is my home" over a year ago and you got some funnies. Come clean my house, you know the couch! You never came back with a Negative or bad response You know what to do dont ya?

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

WOW!!

Yes Twisted Sister. Tell the people that I admire and look up to how they inspire me. Celeste your on the top of my list - you dont know what you mean to me. Then there is Victor, Bill, Thom, Wha, Don, I have missed some and more, oh Willie and then the gals, Arlene your right there, Pirl your one smart cookie, and take over Celeste, Michele, Louise, Patti - I am going to miss names and mess up. duhh

Last but not least BigCityAl - When I first started 2 years ago, your pictures. I cant forget them, I cant say no more. I am not a pussy footer but get touched by your posts and pics.

Sherrie

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

sherrie for you i'm hoping for an early spring and praying your DH gets back to work - pretty sure i'm looking at a layoff real soon - only happened once before and lasted a couple months - still was not fun

Southeast, MA(Zone 6b)

Sherrie just be yourself and all will be well and we learn a lot from you too. Ditto what Bill said.

You l Laff I laff,
You smile, I smile
You cry, I cry
You jump off the bridge into ICE water

I will miss your post :-)

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Thank you Sherrie, your special too you know!
Bill i'm sorry to hear that, this economy sucks. DD just found out she has to take a 10% cut in pay, all employees do to keep the company afloat.

Look - I try to break up the slow times. Other then potted plants we have nothing else to do. The winter blues kicks in. I come here To Learn - plain and simple. Tell the truth and I am not a ME ME ME person - my flowers my bed my my by I I I oh we

Second to joke around with friends.
I come here and do what I do, and when I want to do it. If I do anything that offends you - TELL ME.

If you want to wrestle - bring it on. I am not coy.

Mona in Metcalfe, ON(Zone 5a)

oh oh that is the warning look for another job, quietly of course

that little saying is funny
I dont like ice water either

Mona in Metcalfe, ON(Zone 5a)

well tonight I am putting together my portable green house, I have four flats in the garage cooling and they have to come in by the end of the weekend and two more flats in the family room on the safe table its time lol since I have to start two more this coming week

I am getting going slowly will have to speed up at the end of march lol

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

sherrie - your a nut and you crack me up

Celeste - wife works so we'll be ok - its the ex who will be a problem lol (don't tell) - and there will be a couple months severance - so i am trying to time a double dip - although this economy is messing with my master plan - at least i knew enough to ask for those gift certificates for x-mass for trees :)

on another note i just noticed the high country garden hit my credit card for plants due to be sent in May, that annoys me.
