My Sugar Ann sugar snap peas bloomed this pink bloom this morning!


Got my Peonies in the ground today! Left to right: Sorbet (pink & yellow) herbaceous peony, yellow tree peony, Gardenia (white) herbaceous peony and Kopper Kettle tree peony.

I also moved my blackberry as hubby was weed whacking it even though it had a red tag on it! Planted my sweet peppers, edamame, mystery eggplant, rosemary, acorn & butternut squash, pumpkins, zucchini, cucumber, sweet potatoes, basil, strawberries, cilantro, sunflower and potted up my super hot peppers into larger pots. 

I went to plant my Hakone grass and decided another location would be better for it and planted them by the fence still, but in the planter boxes a previous owner had created. Unfortunately I only had five plants so it is very limited at the moment. When I find more, I will purchase more! It should look pretty damn good once I get the boxes filled! Now I just have to figure out something else that is tolerant of furry footed traffic that also tolerates dry soil :) 

It was quite the productive day! I even vacuumed the whole house! Tomorrow, I need to cut down the dead stuff off my Hydrangea and roses. I was surprised to see the roses actually coming back to life! All the new growth is coming off the base. I'm hoping it's not the rootstock growth. So I will be pruning those up too as well as mopping all the floors and cleaning the bathrooms!

Sugar Ann Snap Peas



As fanatical as I am about planting garlic each year, I am also fanatical about planting these snap peas! They are SOOO good! Because the seeds were several years old, I wasn't sure they would all sprout and because I wanted A LOT of peas this year, I just threw handfuls down into holes this year at the base of my tomato cage! Look who has made their entrance today! YIPEE!!! Hopefully the wonky weather we have been having won't make them bolt early. They are worth the extra effort to plant early!
