Upnort, I do put the year on the tags, along with name and size. The ones in these pictures aren't tagged with anything but the name yet and that's on a flimsy plastic tag that I know may not make it through the winter. I've got to get out there and 1) tag them better and 2) draw a map of what's where in case the tags get moved. All that plus I still have 30-40 plants (not hosta) to get in the ground before snowfall. Which is coming way too fast! I'm 'on call' for work this coming weekend and have to stay around home because my cell phone doesn't have coverage a lot of places around here, so our goal this weekend is to get the rest of the garden IN THE GROUND!!! Wish us luck :-) Maryann, you are right! That is definitely not Moon Waves. It's not Moon Struck either, as I've never owned one. I did have Moon Waves. I received it in a trade a year and a half ago. I can only think that somehow the tags got mixed up and then I brought the wrong tag along with one of the hostas that I moved from Minnesota. What a disappointment. My guess is that I'll never figure out which of the 200+ plants I thought I didn't bring to MI is actually here with me in place of Moon Waves. But I'm awfully glad you caught it for me. Thank you! June, my Xanadu hasn't been in the ground all that long. I'll cross my fingers that it holds up next season and still looks this good late in the season. Lila, I'm absolutely loving the Deep Blue Sea too! This is the first year I've had one and I am amazed at how perfect it has looked, and still looks, even this late in the season. I've never been a fan of rugose leaves on hosta, but find myself more and more drawn to them this past season. Paradigm is another example of a rugose hosta that is really looking great as the season goes on. I think next year, there may be a couple more :-) And blues (like DBS) are always a beautiful contrast to other hostas as well as a whole variety of other plants.

Wow! I got my seeds! It took a little detective work to figure out what swap this package belonged to, but once the fear of having lost my mind were over and i started pulling out my seed packets and recording them, the pleasure stretched out to 181 packets of a great variety of seeds, thanks to all of you, my new GGF(great and generous friends). you guys are de bom! The assortment is awsome considering that there was no want list matchups at all. Cathy, awsome job sorting our packages, I only got 2 of my own seeds, and the rest was just pure pleasure to receive and record! Thank you. Chris

why was there a limit of 5 words put on this anyway So the game would go faster and people wouldn't end up skipping posts because it was taking them so long thinking of words. Plus... I just like to see who can follow the rules. LOTS of rebels here at the KT! lol
