Such a talented woman... My sister does peonies really well in NC. I couldn't grow them in Georgia, but hopefully one day will live somewhere I can! Azaleas were easy in Georgia and beautiful.

If it makes you feel better, I killed my azaleas. Or rather Chad did. He helped with the flower beds and fertilized everything to death.

I too am waiting for asparagus; we had a glorious Easter ... not the warmest, that happened in 1949 and 1893 back in the late 1800s ... now we have cloud cover and moving on with April showers! Take care ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
