Well good morning, friends, 

I'm sitting here looking at my peonies in the front flower bed. I need to deadhead the tops so they look nice for the rest of the season. 

But the peonies in my back flower bed didn't bloom at all. 

I noticed this last year, too, when I first moved in, but I knew I would be waiting for this year to correct the issue. If you found yourself lacking in big, blousy blooms this spring, you'll want to read on. 

And here are a few other items that might be helpful heading into the week. 

I'm thoroughly enjoying all the summer blooms showing up in my yard and around town. What flowers are you looking forward to or enjoying the most right now?
