I have too many to name showing up! I'm keeping my fingers crossed

that the freezing temps are over for the season.

When all is said and done, there’s more said than done.

Took a few pics of some of the hosta showing up...

First Blush

Deliverance

Wolverine

Longissima

Victory

I managed to get 18 hosta moved off of the hillside today and planted on flatter ground! I still have over 40 more to move, but I'm sure I won't get them all done this year.

Why off the slope?

I'm putting them on a slope.

It's just getting to be too much to care for on that steep, sandy hillside. I'm just moving them off of the steepest section to flatter ground. Then I'll move the vinca vine around in that section for ground cover. I don't think I'm going to miss caring for that section at all.

Nice, Rose! None of my hostas are showing up yet. But should be soon. The warmer weather has finally arrived!

We had 36° this morning! I might have a few mushy ones out there.

I'm finally seeing plants in Ottawa, though some, including second divisions of of plants that are unfurled, are still little pips.

Here are some from May 17.

'Alligator Shoes'

'Baby Bunting' - one of three divisions

'Blue Mouse Ears' - one of two

'Cherry Tart'

'Chinese Sunrise'

'Country Mouse' - a cute mini but NOT part of the BME family.

'Cracker Crumbs'

'Curly Fries'

'Dee's Golden Jewel'

'Dragon Tails'

'Electrocution'

'Emerald Ruff Cut'

'First Frost'

'Francee' - one of two. The other just has a few pips showing.

'Frisian Pride'

'Fruit Punch' - the leaves have just a hint of pink on the edges in spring.

'Galaxy'

'Ghost Spirit'

'Guardian Angel'

'Hanky Panky'

'Ice Age Trail' has lived in a large pot since I separated a lot of solid blue reversion from it a year ago.

'Island Breeze'

'June' east of my house. The one west of my house is barely showing.

'Kifukurin Ko Mame' - one of my earliest hostas and a delightful edger. Divides easily and grows fast.

'Korean Snow'
