Hostas



I recently read this post by Serenity Cove and started to wonder if I was such a gardener.




I figured it was time to do another hosta post since they've grown so much since this post in May.


As I took the photos this evening I realized I do really like hostas.  




I often break my no more perennial resolve to buy another lovely leafed thing.






I don't pass up offers of plant divisions.



I divide my own and spread them around to new places.




Oh, dear what have I become?










A hostaholic?

The Glen Garden


The glen garden is along the edge of the woods where the forest conservation area begins.  If you stand  here you can often hear the stream down in the glen gurgling as it travels along its way.  This is the perfect spot for shade loving plants. Many of these were gifts, some I bought and many of the ferns were transplants from the woods.

Walk along the edge with me and enjoy the sights.


We'll start at the eastern end and head west.







This is the west end looking back to the east.





Back to the start.  See those branches back there?  I hope to build a log fence with help from Dan this summer.
