Yesterday afternoon I had two tree peonies in full bloom - for the first time. The flowers were 10 inches across. Yesterday afternoon I had six peonies covered with buds, on two of them, the buds were just getting ready to open.

This morning, I had two disturbingly flat lumps under the snow, where the tree peonies had been. I had a bunch of broken stalks under the snow, where my peonies used to be. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/crap.gif

Sometimes the weather here in the spring can be frustrating.

know exactly what you mean, how long have you lived there? here in mt, I know better than to plant anything before we get our memorial weekend blizzard -- it just gets frozen and/or broken. we had 3" of snow on sunday morning, but it melted right away, but there were quite a few who had put in their tomatoe plants, who are going back to get some more now.http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Hi Keryvian. My husband works in Colorado and he told me that it snowed over there. He likes snow so he was happy about it. I will be there next week and I hope it doesn't snow while I am there. I see you live in Denver. My husband works in Bond. Do you know where that is? We might become residents of the little town. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif I hope anyway. Take care and I hope you flowers survived the snow.

Ok... I'll quit whining about a little rain and wind, with temps in the high 30s Farenheit. It's a lot better than SNOW! *shudder* Tho that's been forecast as a possibility here sometime this week as well.

JJ, I don't plant anything before Memorial Day either, for the same reason. The good thing is that the snow that falls now WON'T be staying! YAY! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/heee.gif

I didn't know it was still snowing anywhere. How much longer does that kind of weather usually last?

Ouch!!! I thought Scotland had great weather too. With that kind of weather, why the hell do you all wear kilts? I would think some kind of windbreaker, or something would be in order.

Whoa there my friend. You're the one who brought sheep into this, not me. But I guess if one were into f**cking sheep, a kilt would fascilitate that more readily then some more suitable winter wear. I guess I just answered my own previous question. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif
