I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It is tremendously helpful. I keep a journal each summer with comments on when and how to fertilize each plant that I have, along with any other comments that will be beneficial for the coming year.
I have a peony that comes back each year (I live in zone 2B which does have some very cold winters). I've noticed that in the past 2 summers it isn't flowering. What would you recommend as a possible solution. I do fertilize each year; however it has been mostly with some sheep manure and an all purpose Miracle gro water soluble fertilizer. Based on your video, would you recommend the Bonemeal?

Good basic information, fertilizers can be confusing to figure out.
