It has been a long time with colder-than-average temperatures. Night times usually freezing, day times between 5-10°C. This results in plants not actively growing. Our peony broker sent out a newsletter today and in this mentions a lot of problems due to this. The main issue being young stems that fall over due to botrytis at ground level. That…Read More

I’m glad you are keeping the Hybridizer’s Corner open. The fact that it’s somewhat hidden away is just fine with me, as I’m not a fan of social media pages for holding serious conversations.
