Just to let you know the peonies (4 bushes of them,red, white and pink) are blooming full speed ahead. Have not been swamped with ants this year. Know better not to cut off buds. 3rd year for garden. Planted in August 2007. see my comment of 5/4/2008 regarding re-growth. Just to let you know the peonies (4 bushes of them,red, white and pink) are blooming full speed ahead.
