Leave your peony stakes up all year long. That way you never have to remember again. I remember the first time I saw ants all over the peonies and tried to kill the ants. Then someone told me they needed the ants for them to open up. Gardending is a learn as you go experiment!
Wow, awesome! How'd you do that?
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI battled the ants who are crawling all over these heavenly scented blooms armed with stakes a mallot and lots of florist tape.
I have learned my lesson- stake peonies the very 1st sign of spring or suffer the ickiness that is ants in your hair.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteYes it is Donna, but I enjoy gardening so much I'd gladly suffer ants in my hair. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll try to resist the urge to pull up stakes come fall.
