The First Peony – ‘Shima-Nishiki’

The First Peony - 'Shima-Nishiki'

The Tree Peony ‘Shima-Nishiki’ is the first to bloom. The name means “fire flame” in Japanese, an apt title to describe the red blooms striped with white. Occasionally, there are solid red blooms.
Every year this peony gets better and seemingly overnight, the puny-looking bare branches are suddenly fleshed out with a tremendous profusion of leaves. The bush is dense, forming a 4 ft. mound. Our plant resides at the top of one of the terrace beds in back where it gets some morning sun and dappled sun (mostly shade) for the remainder of the day. 
We have many peonies in the garden and they all came from Adelman Peony Gardens in Salem, Oregon. It is worth a drive just to see their beautiful display garden in May.

Help Reforest the Planet – I’ll Plant a Tree for You 🌳

Help Reforest the Planet - I'll Plant a Tree for You 🌳

This year, I joined a project that’s like a friendly chain letter — but instead of cluttering your inbox, we’re cluttering the planet with trees. 🌱

Every time someone joins through me, I pledge to plant another tree — and they can invite others too. It’s a growing community, reforesting the planet one connection at a time. 🌍

Our goal is simple: plant One Trillion Trees together. If you’re curious, I’ve shared the link in the comments!

No till solution with raised beds that are full of tall weeds?

No till solution with raised beds that are full of tall weeds?

I’ve inherited some raised beds at a place I recently moved to. The bed framing is in good shape, but there have not been any growing happening for about 5 years, and the bed is completely full with weeds that are 5 feet tall.

Could I cut the weeds at the ground, then put cardboard down and compost on top of that and plant right into it. Or will the weeds still come up?

Is there a better way to do start my garden?
