Potting Shed Envy
Cute as pie! Wouldn't you love to have this little potting shed in your back yard? This has been a very unusual year for gardening in New Jersey. It's still very cool for the end of June and we have had so much rain. The perennials have been wonderful and my peonies were never more beautiful. How does your garden grow? via

My Peonies This Year (2017)
I only have five blooming peonies today, the pink ones. There are some secondary buds that will still produce small flowers which I also love. The white ones are all gone and so are the red ones. They were really beautiful this year, thanks to all the rain we had in May.
I took the last photo this morning. All were made with my iPhone 🌸
