Hasn't been ANY traffic on this forum for awhile. I wondered where you all are and how many of us are here to begin with.

I'ts ok spring, maybe you can get some pointers. Do you have a lot of slugs? I hear jokes. "Enjoy Washington, ten million Slugs can't be wrong!'

I'm still here. doing A LOT of watering to keep my hostas from wilting. Seems some have gotten smaller from last year.

I think we got about 1 inch of rain in June. and just experienced 2 week of upper 90's to mid 100's.

Been hot and dry here, too. I visit this forum, but haven't posted much this year. Been busy watering , floating in the pool or hiding out in the a/c! I still have a lot of hostas to plant, but it's been too hot for that.

I have a lot of Hostas still in pots and I moved them to full shade to keep them from frying. Sad

I took this picture at my Sister-in-laws Saturday. They took a large Poplar Tree down because it was sprouting all over the lawn and the new tree will take some time to grow so the Hosta are burned. I added several pictures to the data base. Look at my profile. I'm to lazy to load them, here. The best thing on the place was Wolverine.

Hers look a lot like mine. I am going to move them to the side of house till by new trees get bigger. They only get morning sun and I thought it would be ok, but they fried. Sad

We got 2.8 inches in the past 8 days and temperatures in the high 80's, but now got more hot air moving in with lots of humidity! Whistling
