yup mini hostas count! just put a little table n chairs in there with them, put a little fence around it. and you have a garden room! LOL! I know what you mean about health stuff, I didnt get to do anything in my garden last year, well except planting the mini gardens in a pot LOL! I am hoping that when things dry out next month I'll have the stamina and time to get some things done in my real garden!
