''Tis the season" for tick repellent

I'm near Portland. Just taking a break from lawn mowing to have lunch, and I am wearing long pants tucked into my socks (I know - awful fashion image) but a friend was helping me a few weeks ago wearing shorts and had ticks on his legs when he finished. Here's an article from the Portland paper last month - http://www.pressherald.com/2016/04/11/deer-ticks-already-out-in-force-in-maine/

Ninamarie - I'm not happy to hear that slugs love Sugar & Spice! How bad is it exactly? Gorgeous speciman Sherrygirl - it's clearly happy: look at all the flowers! Old_dirt - have you found that slugs are a problem now that you have put Sugar & Spice in the ground? Your plant looks shorter than Sherrygirl's - both looks are really attractive. I'm happy that I picked this one up...hopefully slugs aren't uncontrollable. djacob - I agree, the flowers on Adorable are large and much more similar to Royal Standard's...I just checked the Hosta Library and found out that Adorable is a sport of Royal Standard. I never would have guessed that based on how my immature plant looks. I'm a little torn...I love the look of the leaves right now because they are smallish and round...

Tis the season for Japanese Anemones

That is one beautiful clump of 'Queen Charlotte' dbarron! I have a pot of 'Pamina' that I plunked in the garden when I discovered it was not 'Honorine Jobert'. Wrong color for that spot, I should check on it. Here is the well named 'Robustissima'. Such a beast but I so appreciate the late blooms. You can see there are some plants going toward dormancy already here. We had drought for months but plenty of rain in the last month or so. I did not water at all.

That is gorgeous! Fiddleheads are too bitter for me, though I love the texture, but that's hrd to remember with such a beautiful presentation. Lucky mom and partner!
