Gorgeous. My mom dotes on her antique “pineys” (peonies), and they were showy this year, but nothing like that.

We need to try Peonies again as I like their foliage as much as their blossoms. My wife grows lots and lots of annuals from seed and transplants them into beds in the garden and 40 or 50 pots on the deck.

My onions did piss poor this year. When I popped them up they weren’t much larger than they were as sets! Can I replant these small onions for a fall harvest? Thanks!

You have nothing to loose unless you were growing them for cocktail onions. They may not mature until next year but a lot of folks plant in the fall...

You all are knowledgable about gardening...

We just purchased several fruit trees for a bargain. However, they seem rather leggy and misshapped. Can I prune them to get low branches on the trees? Call me an "urban gardener.
