I did trim 2 of the 3 blocks mentioned yesterday, changing them from 9,5" to 6.5" squares. I also cut a few more 3.5" and 6.5" squares from different fabrics. I think this is about 1/3 of the squares I will need.
I took a close up photo of one of the pink Peony blooms. When I went to change the lock screen photo on my cellphone, it was one of my options. It is a rectangular section of the center of the flower and it is beautiful on the phone. My Canon camera was down in the basement and I didn't go down there yesterday so I couldn't take a photo of my cellphone. You will just have to wait to see it (and hope I remember to take the photo).
The Garden Heliotrope is starting to bloom now. The plant dies back after blooming and I can pull it out. It always comes back the next year.
The Annabelle Hydrangea is starting to set buds. I didn't get this one cut back last fall and it was already sprouting leaves by the time I checked it this spring so it will be larger this year even though I did some trimming. Unfortunately that means it will be covering up a lot of other plants.
Several of the tomato plants have blooms on them so I hope I see little tomatoes soon.
The predicted rain looks like it will all go south of us so I'll have to do some watering soon.





my mother always had peonies and I did when I lived in Idaho. I tried to grow them here and had them for a year or two and then my husband ran over them a couple times with the lawn mower not paying attention and they never came back after that. I tried digging them out and replant thinking they had gotten too deep maybe but they never came back.
