Saturday Snippets-Pristine Peony and 2016 Garden Planters

Look at what I woke up to today! This beauty is in the garden in front of the house and the plant is truly spectacular this year. It has several buds, but this first flower is a real showoff:@)
 She's a good 6+ inches across.
And brings a little sunshine on this very overcast and damp weekend.
One last pic...

My veggie planters are a lot further behind this year because we've had a very wet and cool spring here in Philly.
I tucked the snow peas in the big pot, they are done growing and I'll pull the plants out today so the cucumbers and tomatoes have more room.  
There are string beans on the right and nasturtiums in with a creeping rosemary on the left. Hoping to add some flowers to my salad this summer.

Looks like Sweet and Sour Pork for dinner tomorrow! 
Definitely got my monies worth from that 20¢ pack of seeds:@)

On the other side I have zucchini and goldbar squash (yellow zucchini) and a Tumbling Tom tomato plant. 
I'll be adding one more planter for staggering string beans, aiming for fresh beans all summer long.
So that's how my garden grows this year...

Wishing you a sunny day and happy plants:@)
