Hopefully, peonies aren't like the watched pot that never boils—because these beauties are under 24/7 surveillance, paparazzi-style. Every day, I half-expect them to ask for autographs.
They're coming along, but, like a vacation you booked in January, they always seem forever away. Don't worry—I'll send out the peony equivalent of a breaking news alert when they finally bloom. Until then, keep your vases prepped for bouquets. You'll find them at The Shabby Shrub when they're ready.
Now, it's back to building the fence to keep deer from tiptoeing through the flower beds. Judging by the hoof prints, I'm convinced I'm hosting nightly Irish step dance rehearsals. If only the deer would munch on weeds instead of auditioning for Riverdance! 😆
