Yes, I've had no problem moving them and looking forward to meeting you too!<br />Pipany - I am behind with blog reading too and must come over to yours. I love May, my favourite month, so hope the sun shines.<br />Frances - thank you. You are always very kind. One day I will be lucky like Chris and get to meet you. I will do some close ups too.<br />Weaver - ah, you have reminded me that I have not sown any sunflowers and I love them. another job for tomorrow.<br />LBD - I can't take any credit for the paeonies as they were here when we came. They seem quite tough if they like your soil. I have quite a few root cuttings going spare if you want to try again and can work out a way of getting them!Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-15904055298539131762010-05-01T17:55:03.379+01:002010-05-01T17:55:03.379+01:00I know what you mean about everything suddenly spr...I know what you mean about everything suddenly sprouting - with me, unfortunately, it seems to be mostly the things I haven't wanted to sprout, like the marestail I thought I'd dug out of my allotment last winter. <br /><br />Am so envious of your paeonies - I love peaonies, but have had no success at all here.
