    A beautiful garden with a wonderful view. Must be a delight to be out in the garden.

    I like your garden Hostafan- it's very pretty- it makes me think of a seaside garden...I've never seen hostas used like that before but I like it alotimage

    Id love to see a evening view with the lamps switched on

    Wow, such a stunning garden Hostafan1.  The progress you have made in such a short time is phenomenal.  Lots of room for all those lovely hostas.   Do you have a best and/or most favourite hosta?

    Verdun, no worries there ... the addiction has well and truly set in image

    our land goes to the line of trees behind the ( rather weedy ) lake.

     

    Thank-you all for the kind words.I went to take some pics yesterday morning, but the camera wasn't charged, by the time it was, it had clouded over. I'll get onto it asap.

    Sagae is a bit of fave I have to admit. I love the "giants" like Bid Daddy , Sum and Substance and, a new one I bought last year , Empress Wu.

    Wow!!! amazing pictures. And well done Charley you're both brave for growing them in the ground.  My one and only hosta started off in a pot last year, then copper tape was added as the leaves were shredded one night.  I thought it was safe this year but yesterday noticed holes in a couple of leaves...on closer inspection found a small snail nestling the middle.  How on earth it got there I don't know - I think they climb up the wall and drop onto the plant so now I've moved it away from the wall.  The picture is of a couple of days before the attack.

    I'm off work tomorrow, and if it's nice, I'll take some photos of my faves.
