Probably depends on their position as well and how much sun they get? The fungus doesn't seem to have spread at this point which is great so I think I'll be breaking up the bulbs in the fall and spreading them out a bit as being too tightly planted probably hasn't helped.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-39621074026582260222012-07-22T09:10:14.937-03:002012-07-22T09:10:14.937-03:00Jennifer, this is my first time using garlic scape...Jennifer, this is my first time using garlic scapes so we're experimenting a bit. My only issue is that they need cooking and we're eating a lot of salads these days due to the heat. But I've found they are great in roasted potatoes and pasta, essentially just use them in place of garlic.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-10909698266639074502012-07-20T23:57:58.322-03:002012-07-20T23:57:58.322-03:00Hopefully the fungus doesn't spread to your ot...Hopefully the fungus doesn't spread to your other plants. I've been wanting to grow martagon lillies but keep forgetting to buy them. They are available in my spring bulb catalogue. I thought they flowered earlier than this.

I love the dew covered webs that look almost like the roof of a circus tent and the curls of the garlic scapes. <br />I have seen garlic scapes at the Farmer's Market, but have never cooked with them. Forgive my complete lack of culinary skills, but how do you use them? <br />Your peonies are beautiful even past their prime. It is an image that would also look great texturized.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-20906409286008988572012-07-18T23:39:26.732-03:002012-07-18T23:39:26.732-03:00Wonderful to see peonies again...ours just finishe...Wonderful to see peonies again...ours just finished up.<br /><br />Jen @ Muddy Boot DreamsRURAL https://www.blogger.com/profile/11871803235521431504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-39982849277433358682012-07-18T21:16:58.729-03:002012-07-18T21:16:58.729-03:00Thanks Jean.

Moving east has been a challenge for me as I was not used to humidity at all. Seems to bring a lot of disease with it too that I had never had issues with. Powdery mildew is a real challenge for me here.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-66111963862648130492012-07-18T21:08:33.564-03:002012-07-18T21:08:33.564-03:00Thanks for the advice Donna.

Hope you don't have the red lily beetles. It is hot and humid here in Ontario too, I'm just watering my pots, the gardens will hopefully take care of themselves as there are lots of drought resistant and natural plants in them.
