I finally got around to buying a Peony, not a pot ready plant but a tuber I think (?) It was only a few pounds as opposed to over 10quid which would be the cost of a pot sized plant. I've no idea how to plant it, but I guess it's pretty tender so I've stuck it in some compost, slightly damp in the greenhouse and will hope it wakes up in time for early summer. I can't decide whether to keep it in a pot and take it to the allotment or plant it at home. Either way, I'm very excited about having a peony at last, I do hope it flowers this year!
About me
I'm a half Finnish designer who has since taken a break to bring up my children. I used to work in Graphic Design, but now I prefer working with textiles and illustration. This blog is about my allotment and garden. I have been gardening for many years and grew up watching my mum and dad do the same. I began my allotment in Jan 2010 in memory of my father who passed a way just before then. I also love cooking and finding inventive and delicious ways to make my produce into meals. I'm growing with my experiences, and welcome any helpful advice! Sometime soon I hope to use my garden as inspiration for my art.
Found out this was on of the most favoured flowers this year at Chelsea
