How lucky you all are to see the first shoots... One more week before I get back to our garden... The house has been closed all winter. We've been snug in NYC, but horrified to hear about the massive snow and ice accumulations in the northeast. I've been zone pushing for years, and did a lot of late planting last fall, so expect some losses. It's encouraging that some of you are finding tender plants emerging now.

Pic 1, 2: I re-did a long border last fall, moving some old peonies and buying a couple more to fill in. There were also a few new ones the year before, that I'm hoping will put on a better show this year.
Pic 3: Red Grace- after a late frost damaged her buds, she bloomed anyway.
Pic 4, 5: Candy Heart, Duchesse De Nemours- oldies but goodies


I can't wait to see what's what!
