    Katie, thanks for checking in---my peonies...did fine with transplanting...they take a couple of planting seasons to get a grip, but I have been taking rooted sections from original plant and starting others..I usually just put it in the ground ( make sure good roots)...the one in the pic is probably 5 years since I've transplanted...try it..see what happen

    No stone soup, Katie - pizza! I've got to get new pictures posted quick - there are lots of veggies in the cold frame now - plus in new garden beds. Also, Max & Leigh have a hen that snuck off and hatched 7 baby chicks! Very exciting! Hope to have pics up of them too. Happy gardening! Love that you're an urban gardener! Come & visit us anytime!
