Here's another view of the established hostas. Some I planted 17 years ago, some were given to me by another coworker. I probably have seven or so varieties around my yard.
Quite a few were planted in the shady area at the front of my house.
They were looking sad when I planted them, but I had hopes they'd bounce back in 2024.
By May 2024, they were growing beautifully. I still need to finish the border on this bed.
Earlier this year, I added a Summer Crush hydrangea in amongst the hostas. It's only bloomed this one time.
I also had to dig up and divide a hosta plant my Mom had given me many, many years ago. It wasn't very big then, but it was HUGE in 2023 when I dug it up.
I created a new bed for the propagated plants. I call it "Mom's Hosta Bed".
The last hosta "bed" I created in 2023 was done out of desperation of where to put two remaining plants.
I needed to trim the dead branches from the pine tree in front of my house so I created a little alcove.
On each side I planted the hostas. It wasn't very pretty, but at least I got them in the ground before winter set in.
Until Next Time,
You have some beautiful Hostas.

ReplyDeleteHi Meari! I didn't even realize you were back to blogging until I read your comment on my blog! I guess I need to read back through your posts of catch up on your life ;) Love the hostas. We only have one variety and they seem to be taking over. Can I just borrow a bit of your energy--you always have so many wonderful projects on the go! Enjoy your weekend!
