Nope. Too bright a color to be Sara Bernhardt! :)

I looked at some pics & while the blooms are big & similar, the color didn’t seem to match. I don’t know what ours are, but they’re wonderful - size, shape & color.

Peonies....I purchased 2 red peony roots (Karl Rosenfeld) for about $6 apiece at my local Building supply store (Sutherlands...KC based). Looking at some of the online prices $27 maybe I should go back and get the one that was left!

Carrots! Here is a video of a Lady in Quebec sowing carrots with a method I have not seen, seeds suspended in a corn starch solution. When I did, what my Father did was to sow, water, put a board over the row method, which worked well to preserve moisture and encourage germination. If anyone triess this let us know how it works!

My garden is going gangbusters this year, so far.

If only we ate weeds, too.

We have been keeping track of wildlife we see on our property and so far have a healthy variety, but today, for the first time, I saw the badger. Mr. mm says he’s seen it before. But I was out early this morning doing stuff around the porch to avoid the wasps, and it was out also.

It’s good to know we have so vermin controlling wildlife around.

The only porcupine I’ve seen was dead. We found it this spring in the woods.

And I saw a fox once, and lots of tracks in the winter.
