I want a peony
Mar. 27th, 2007 06:13 pmThere are snail tracks on the inside back window of my Forester. The car still smells vaguely like compost, though it was full of brush merely 12 hours, then vacuumed.
The two guys I hired again last weekend helped me hack vinca, ivy, and native blackberry in the back yard. After the two green bins filled up, we loaded up my car, leaving enough room to fit them in/drive them home. I kept cracking up because a few hours later, a friend and I drove to a choral concert in San Francisco in my compost-mobile. Monday AM, I ran over to the dump early. The snail wended its way out of the sun on the back window as I drove home.
A friend came over and helped me get things planted. I'm terrible about planting; good on clean up and prep, though. Oriental poppies and Red Hot Sallies in planter boxes. Catmint in the ground. The tiny fenced-in garden will be used for a change this year: peas, beans, cherry tomatoes, & yellow pear toms when I find some. Clover is doing well on the tiny side yard. Feverfew is in, I have a newly transplanted Mexican marigold from a neighbor, and I still have to plant digitalis, delphineums, and African daisies. I want a tree peony. OMG they are so beautiful. Regular peonies do not do well here, but the tree peony does, apparently.
