.... then if a snow/cold snap comes the plant can't shut back down into hibernate. Wait a month then fert when no chance of freeze/snow, start with a mild/weak solution.

youve given me renewed hope! Thanks so much and enjoy your peonies. Theyre such beautiful flowers.

Crocus up, and daffodil greens, and CAMELLIAS opening! (Calvert County.)
