Re: Tilling when wet/ weather & blooms


Hello Dee Ann,
    Mostly I call our current cool (cold), cloudy, rainy weather a pain in the
unmentionables...... you are simply more polite than I on terminology;-))
    In spite of, or because of, all the peony have been beautiful this year. All
bloomed at once rather than early, mid-season and late, but they were lovely.
Singles, japanese and anemone form of bloom... about 40 of them forming the
western outside of the garden. Species lilium are beginning to come into bloom.
That series should stretch into August or September. Ferns and Astilbe are great
with all the cool, moist, weather the past couple of weeks. Coral-bells,
foamflower, species and hybrids are in bloom. Species iris..... It is a good year,
just crammed together a bit due to early warm-up, then cooling back down.
