Penny and her peonies. She favors foxgloves and hollyhocks, too. Eggplant, tomato, fennel, and quince. Cherry and chicory and Cheddar pink. Penny's passion is the perfect old fashioned garden. She plants sweet next to bitter, pale and bright grow side by side. Penny plans, with great care, her fecund plot so there's something to bury and something to dig up no matter what time of year. From the lowly viola to the royal red rose, Penny's patch of solitude provides peace and repose. Just ask those who pay Penny a visit, and find it hard not to stay a spell.
