Farmer Sherril has been a fan of peonies ever since she was a little girl. The path to her grandmother’s house was lined with dozens of plants that would start to bloom once warmed by the Iowa sun. Now she helps her daughter tend them on the farm in Central Washington.
When properly cared for, peonies can live to be over 100 years old, so these ones could outlive us all. They are still as beautiful as ever and they are perfect for picking this weekend.
The U-pick is open now for the summer. 3151 Brick Mill Rd in Ellensburg, Wa. Open everyday from dawn to dusk.
