A few weekend garden items as frost looms in the forecast: Another reason to plant peonies (the fall leaf color makes wonderful foliage in arrangements!)

Solidalgo rigida turns cottony and fluffy.

One of my new peonies (second attempt at growing Nelda’s Joy) with signs of death and life simultaneously. I hope life wins in the spring!

You need to cut that peony to the ground. Are you sure it’s dead. You only plant the eyes up one to 2 inches below soil level. If you leave stalks it will cause fungus and rot. ❤️

Peonies teach patience that’s for sure! I don’t know this one, I’ll have to look it up
