After the bloom, deadhead your peonies to promote root growth over seed formation.
Plant warm season crops in May - eggplant, peppers, squash, cucumbers, snap beans, peppers, okra and watermelons.

Flower stalks of bearded iris should be pruned off and the leaves cut back in a fan shape after the tips turn brown.
