Peas and Peonies

June 26, 2008 at 8:14 pm (Peas, Peonies)

I have to apologize for my lack of posting during the last few weeks, I’ve been busy. But now on to what’s happening in the garden……

I have three patches of peas growing. Two are under wooden trellises and the third is by the fence. I didn’t think they’d get enough sun by the fence so I wasn’t expecting many to grow. Boy was I surprised though when the ones by the fence grew the best! The package the seeds came in said they need full sun, but maybe they don’t. Anyways I had to jerry rig something for them to grow up so I made a thing for them out of twine. I’ll get a photo of it in the next few days to share.

The Peonies are finally in full bloom, well, at least one of the Peony plants is. They’re so beautiful this year, and big. I’ll have a get a photo of those too.

Rain, Rain, and More Rain

June 11, 2008 at 5:47 am (Peonies, Rain barrel, seedlings)

For the last week or so it seems like it’s been raining almost non stop. It’s supposedly supposed to stop by tomorrow but I’m not sure if I trust the forecast. It’s kind of strange to see things so green and yet so gloomy and sunless too.

The Peonies still haven’t opened yet. If I thought they looked like they were going to burst before I was wrong, they’re huge now.

I’ve officially lost two of the morning glories. I’ll have to plant seeds to replace them once the rain stops. My Red Robin tomato plant that I bought at Seedy Saturday is slowly dying. It’s so sad because I had two tomatoes and 5 or 6 smaller ones coming along.

I’ll post some more pictures too once the rain stops.
