I'm back and so are my hostas!
Albomarginata is going to have a leap year, I suspect! She is stunning and perfect so far! Fire Island is gorgeous this year, too... 4 eyes and she looks more stunning every day, sometimes more so from one hour to the next! Blue Mouse Ears has also doubled in size! She has 4 eyes, too. The whole time, she's only had 2 and this is year 4 or 5 for her. So I am thrilled! Wolverine has eyes emerging and unfurling. Grand Tiara and Krossa Regal do, too. Wheee is just starting to emerge. I was worried about her. We had another rough winter. But so far, no snow or ice since the hosta have popped up. The 2 unidentified ones are also coming up. Hopefully be able to identify them this year? I lost everyone else, though. :( Even Paul's Glory. I am not going to replace them because I am moving into a condo I just bought in a month or so. My patio won't be able to hold that many. So I sold my pots and stands and things.
Albomarginata today. Stunning leaves, texture and color. Perfection!
Fire Island today. Stunning color and leaves. Also perfection!

I'm so happy to be back!! Thanks to all the trades!!!
Comments (1)Hi heavenlyfarm---Michael, Though we haven't traded I just wanted to welcome you back. I can almost feel your excitement from all the seed trading you have done and also Winter Sowing for the first time (I'm guessing). I see from your reviews that you already known as a really good trader. Reading your Member Page blurb makes me smile, as I too fell in love with the good country life at a very young age. chemocurl...aka Sue...See MoreOT...I'm Back...I'm Tired...But Happy My Decorating Is All Done!
Comments (9)Wow Jane, I am tired just reading about what all you did! Sounds like a wonderful time and lots of work and effort on your part. What a large group to entertain! So nice that your DH helps you with the decorating. Mine does not help with the inside at all. I carry everything up from the basement including the trees, all the boxes, ladders, etc. The only thing he does outside is put a blow mold Santa on our mailbox, although this year, he did run an extension cord from the backyard for some of the lights as they kept tripping the breaker this year! Again, getting everything down out of the rafters, off of the shelves, and put up is up to me! Sorry, I just needed to vent a little. I get a bit envious when I hear of other DH's that help with decorating. Anyway, looking forward to your pix. TFS, Candy...See MoreHey, I'm back after 8 months or so...

Congrats and welcome back!! Brenda...See MoreI'm missing my hostas
Comments (8)Wait! Where ya going? Will you still be able to grow hostas in your new garden? Did you dig up any in advance to take with you? Or are you getting away from the cold winters and will grow tropicals now? ....My mind wanders to the tropics in January. :-) Your current garden has some beautiful, mature hostas that would be hard to leave. So many nice plants, and those stacked walls. Thanks for sharing it all with us. I can see why you'd miss them, and I hope starting over turns out to be a great experience. Good luck on your next gardening adventure!...See More
