I didn't think I would be expanding my beds but after a visit to the Hosta House in SLC and the purchase of several new plants I realized I needed more room. Goodbye to some lawn,,,,Here is how it looks

That looks great Paul!! When I expand I go to like 10 feet into the grass -- -- totally get the look from my DH.

Also how do you get your Spilt Milk to get so big.... I have had mine for 4 or 5 years and this year it is as small as a mini.

I've had Spilt Milk several years and it is a slow grower. A friend who grows Hosta well has it in his garden and it is smaller this year when most things are larger.

Yeah -- I was thinking of moving it... but not sure where to go. He is in dappled sun right now. How much sun does your get?

Morning....a little dappled through the day...a little after 6 PM

Beautiful pictures Paul! Makes me wish I was there

Thanks Freda. Have you looked at the threads 'Hosta at Howard's' and 'Hosta House'? I'm going to the Hosta House Friday with my Brother's wife who loves Hosta. I have room for two more.

Thanks Paul -- I think I will move him into some morning light!!

Also we should split some hostas and trade on here soon!!!

My Spilt Milk is very small this year, and it's usually pretty big. I dug out up and out had small white roots above the older, more mature ones. Not sure if that has anything to do with the drought last year, but it's potted up and waiting to be planted again.

PS.
Love your gardens Paul.

Absolutely glorious, Paul!!!

Paul, absolutely fantastic bed

Thanks everyone.....

Oh and HI BECKY!!!! I havent seen you for awhile on here!!! I need to come visit you in Wisconsin!!!

Christine- Just give me notice when you want to visit. I've got some weeds that need to be pulled. They sure have enjoyed all the rain we have had!

Garden looks great Paul. Wish my Spilt Milk had as much streaking as yours.

Yup looks great and some more beauties added. I see you've been on another rock hunting expedition.

I like the look of rocks with the Hosta, especially when the Hosta grow and partially cover the rocks and the rocks settle in.

I have 5 more to plant today. I'll post pictures later. Since I have found the Hosta House in Salt Lake City it is hard to show restraint. He has so many wonderful well grown cultivars. I can get a nicely established plants at a price as good as a single bare root start in an order.

I went to move my Spilt Milk and it was GONE!!!

I reached down and moved some of the dirt away and to my HORROR there was a hole.... in fact a tunnel!!
I think a Vole/Mole may have gotten it!

I am on a mission now!

Paul, your beds look great!
