~Clubhouse Garden~
This is a garden we made from my son's old clubhouse. We collected wood frm the bay and nailed it all together. Last year we filled it full of peat moss, leaves, compost and dirt and planted my hostas in it. We believe in recycling
This is Fire and Ice. I got it
in 2001. It is not as large as it
will get with maturity, but it
sure brightens up a shady spot.
**********
This is June, it is 3 years old
here, but it was just moved to
this bed this year so it could
get more sun and I think it likes
it here the best.

This is Cherry Berry. People like it because of it's red flower scapes.

~Crabapple Garden~
I love this hosta, it may have
been around for a long time, but
it is a classic for a reason.
fortunei aureomarginata
**********
This is Gold Standard and it is
one of 3 I have growing in full
sun around my pond.
**********
I got this one in a trade 3 years
ago, it is called Sunpower
***********
Guacamole is a fragrant hosta
which blooms in my garden in
August. This one is in the rose
garden and gets almost all day
sun.

This is tokudama aureonebulosa (front) with a common
but nice looking undulata variegata.

~Hosta Bed~
I had this bed made so that I
could see my hostas from the
kitchen. It is 36" tall and 4 ft
wide and 8' long. I had put peat
moss, leaves, and compost and
worm castings in it last year.
This spring I had to replant
everything as the bed shrunk
about 6 inches. The hostas in
this bed did grow very well and
fast, so I guess they loved the
good soil in here. When I moved
them I found their roots had
grown like crazy!
Here is Minuteman
**********
This is tokudama flav. It is a
blue and green with nice thick
leaves.
**********
White Christmas I got last year
and because of the afternoon sun
it was getting it started to melt
out until I stuck a large coffee
can in front of it to give it a
bit more shade. This spring I
moved it into the back a bit so
it only gets morning sun and it
has done much better. This was
taken July 17th

~Family Room Garden~
This is the new garden I planted
this year. In it is Wide Brim, Great Expectations, and Inniswood.
***********
This is Bright Lights. I have had it for 2 years
**********
Loyalist, 2 years old
**********
This is Mildred Seaver, I got her in a secret trade last year and she has done very well and has grown very fast.
*******
This is Paul's Glory, one of my favorite. The colour of the leaves change as the season goes along
**********
This is a picture of a sport that
my son found on a hosta. He is
holding it open so that I can get
a better picture of it. We planted
it in our family room garden and
hope that it will survive the
winter. Because it doesn't have
much choriphill in the leaves it
might not survive, but we are
hoping.
