When I was in one of those big home stores today purchasing material for the AIR project to insulate wood storms for low-income families, I checked out the Garden section for any end of the summer deals. There I found a small peony plant for a couple of dollars. I purchased it even though I do not know if it is the right time of year to plant such a bush. I came home and planted it in a bare spot in the rain garden covering the roots with fresh castings. I hope it works, since I remember that at our former house there was peony bush that every summer, for a short period, was beautiful. The picture on the left is not that of the peony I purchased but what I hope it will be. Only time, care, rain and sun will tell.

I spent more time today getting ready for the now 112 bulbs from Holland I intend to plant soon for spring and early summer beauty around the house. The weather these days has been beautiful, extending my time to get things ready for planting the bulbs and to get things ready for planting inside the sunroom. I took some young plants from outside into the box today and planted some other salad greens in part of the box. So while I plant bulbs outside for next year I am planting salad greens and herbs inside for this winter. There is a season for everything under the sun they say, and this is the season for planting bulbs outside and greens inside. I also hope it is Peony Time!
