Re: Celsius & Peonies

Louise & Kathy

-5C is equal to 23F. There are formulae that I can never remember, but as a 
rough guide,(for temperatures) 2x-5C = -10 + 32 = 22F. Had to phone my 
daughter to get the exact number. Wish they gave plant heights in both cm & 
inches. Here in Canada some are one way, others are the other, and a few 
thankfully are both. Get tired of remembering to convert. Not to mention 
cooking...

I really do have a perennial question...When we moved in here 3 years ago, 
there was a row of double pink peonies across the back of our family room. 
Bush 1 was tall & full,lots of buds and flowers, bush 2 a bit smaller with a 
few buds , bush 3 & 4 smaller still with maybe one or two buds, and bush 5 
was (is) a shortie with no buds. There is actually a bush 6 but its really 
teenie. Just a gradual slope in size. I assumed that 2-5 were simply still 
young, but they're all still about the same...healthy mind you. Do I have to 
lift them and replant at a shallower depth or can I just scratch away the 
soil? If I have to lift them, when should I do it? spring, fall? They are 
blissfully ignored and seem happy otherwise.

Thanks

Lil, z 6a
