Peony Prices

Range from $10-20, most of them around $14. They are a large root section, most of them have 5-10 eyes (growing points)

The Dig is Done!

It sure was easier than I thought. I guess because we have a pointy plant bucket digger (now doesn't that sound technical) on our bobcat. This is our first time digging these so wasn't sure what to expect. Their root systems like most plants, differed from variety to variety. Some came apart nicely, some were a wrestling match. Big long carrot like roots that are very fragile. Amazing how BIG they got in just a few years.

Correction

I changed the previous entry to reflect that we are ending peony sales Sat., Oct. 3rd at the MFM.

Peonies

We are no longer accepting orders, but we will have these 36 (3 others are sold out) varieties for sale. We plan to start diggin Sept. 14, Frank has taken that week off. We will be selling them from the field and at the Mankato's Farmer Market on Saturdays. Look for them starting Sat. Sept. 19th at the MFM. We only have one set-up with the peonies. They will be at the MFM on Saturdays, at at the field Tues.-Fri. Peonies sales will end Oct. 3rd at the MFM. The amount available for each will differ from 1 to 20 plus of each variety. If you already ordered peonies, you will need to pick up as soon as we call you.....well at least within a few days. That is our last big item to sell, then we will be closing for the season and traveling.

Lucky Sold out for 2009

Lee Sold out for 2009

Top Brass, 28" Midseason, Bomb type, Light Fragrance. You can see the floral netting in this photo. That is how we support the collosal blooms!

Coral Charm sold out for 09, but Coral Supreme is available. They are so similar in appearance, I cannot tell a difference. I prefer the scent of Coral Supreme, otherwise their twins! The color is very vibrant when opening then softens. These were by far the most favorite. The bouquets with these always sold first.
