I can now enjoy a slow walk around the garden with my tea and not feel like I have to get weeding, transplanting or planting something…..so much so I forgot posting ’til this afternoon! My joy this morning was the opening of the first Tree Peony buds. They were beaten by hail a few days ago but are still beautiful.


Luckily I took two vases to the gallery last week so here they are, very wilted now I must say and headed for the compost but still good for IAVOM!

Please go visit Cathy’s blog ‘Rambling in the Garden’ , where other guests from around the world post their vases of flowers collected from their gardens.
I must mention another Cathy who gardens in Bavaria, Germany and whose climate is very similar to our Zone 3 . Her blog is titled ‘Words and Herbs’. Here is her post for today. Zone three gardeners will instantly recognize her flowers at this time.
Happy pottering in the garden!
