Another beautiful day here in the Carondelet Garden.  The sun is shining but the clouds may move in this afternoon with a few periods of showers possible.  Just another Spring Day in South Saint Louis.

My ITOH peony is looking amazing right now.  One of my favorite plants of all time but the poor plant has been moved three times.  You know the old saying "right plant, right place?"  Well, I have the right plant but planted in the wrong place several times.  I think I finally have it right! I did worry that it wouldn't make it when I moved it last fall.  It looked terrible and I feared it was actually a goner.  With the horrible freeze we had in January I truly left little hope for its survival.  I want to give a shoutout to Revive fertilizer from @ggointernational for the help.  I don't usually recommend products, but this stuff is pretty awesome!  I give it so much credit for saving my lovely peony bush.

A busy day on tap for Dr. B and the old gardener.  Be good to yourself and others as you travel about on the Wednesday in May.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
