In Bloom!

Despite my predictions, an unseasonably cold and rainy and dreary May and June, a blight that seems to kill the buds every year, and the fact that I stubbornly refused to cage them (refused, I tell you,  because after 4 years of disappointment, how was I to know that this year, of all years, would be the year), the peonies have bloomed!

I love peonies.  Zach and I had them at our wedding, and they are still one of my most favorite flowers.

Ours are as big as plates, and brightening up the house.  They get prettier every day.

In other happy summer growing news, our CSA starts this week!  I am predicting rhubarb... lots and lots of rhubarb...
