These are Bumble Delite, Gay Parasol, Edith Woolford, top to bottom. I'm very happy with how well they did with the mulch.

Itoh Peony 5.28.2021
These are amazing. They are like the peony version of dinner plate dahlias. The variety is Bartzella. Third year - I think much more vigorous than "regular" peonies.
Dwarf Tomato Update. 5.28.2021
Here are some of the dwarf tomato plants. So far -
(1) The leaves are much thicker than regular tomato plant leaves.
(2) I think the ones I planted in containers are healthier looking than the ones I planted in the ground.
(3) There are quite a few flowers on terminal buds.
(4) BrandyFred looks like a mutant plastic version of a to a tomato plant. It's so sturdy, green, thick leaves. Really an interesting and different tomato plant.
(5) CC McGee, which is in the ground, doesn't look too healthy.

Grafting Update. 5.27.2021
I'm happy with the grafts so far. All are growing. A couple of the black cherries seem a bit slow, but the third of those is growing faster too.
These are third tiers for espaliers. The most vigorous is Gala grafted onto Honeycrisp, then Rubinette grafted onto Zestar. The red leaf apple is Otterson, grafted onto Calypso. Otterson bloomed at every bud. I cut off the flowers. Now it has a growth shoot, so it looks like it will grow OK too.
Mock Orange Blooming. 5.27.2021
This mock orange is about 6 years old. When smaller, deer browsed the tasty young shoots. It's much bigger now and they seem to leave it alone.
Very pretty flowers. Almost like white roses.
