Save peony buds in the refrigerator for later. I have kept some for months. When you are ready to use them, just trim the stems and stick in water. They open that day. Water will condense in the bag over time so will need to be wiped with a paper towel occasionally to keep the flowers from molding. I put some moisture absorbing packets from pills in the bag, thinking they may help some.

Good info!

Wasps, flies and ants can seem like a nuisance, but you may change your mind about these 'pests.'

Annuals are a great way to add quick color to your garden, and keeping them trimmed helps to promote continuous, lush blossoms.

When you dig your hole to plant a tomato, drop an antacid tablet in, cover slightly and then plant the tomato. Since the tablet is just calcium it eliminates blossom end rot. Since I began doing this years ago I haven’t had a problem with blossom end rot. Simple, easy, cheap and effective.

Keep your shear and pruners inside! Birds and butterflies and many other beneficial insects need your garden 'debris' to overwinter. Save time and money. Just sit back and enjoy the birds foraging this winter. If you really like to clean up, do it in spring, just after the first bees start appearing.
