Very pretty Susie! May I ask how big does that Goats Beard actually get. Yours looks very happy.  Susan In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.....Margaret Atwood |

That is actually three plants so it isn't as impressive when you know that! But they are large plants as are the three Hostas. I should probably separate the Hostas but they are so big I get intimidated every time I go out to do it .  I wouldn't even know where to start.  |

Thanks Susie, actually I am more impressed. Putting three together was a great idea! Don't worry about the hostas right now but when they are dormant you can slice into them with a spade and just dig up half and drop the other half somewhere else. I have always done mine when they are dormant, sometimes I dig up the whole thing and slice it four ways (like a cabbage) they come right back up in spring and do not even know that you mutilated them.

I originally had one more there and I did that about 5 years ago. It made about 20 large plants that I sold most of at a plant sale and still had a couple left for me that I put in another spot. It just about did me in!!  I did take a piece out of the outside of a couple of them this spring for my daughter and maybe next spring I'll work up enough energy to tackle it.  |

| Wow, they must be huge!!! You could rope them and tie the other end to your bumper. My husband actually did that one time to a 20 year old boxwood with a disease, it had to come out somehow. LOL.Susan In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.....Margaret Atwood |

They are huge and as long as they stay healthy I guess I'll just leave them be. I did learn my lesson though and now I separate my other hosta before they get so big!  |
