Great looking hostas

You've done a great job!

Looks great, Esther. And, yes, that's as big of a Rainbow's End as I've ever seen.

Great looking Remember Me - a tricky one to grow to a good size, but yours is faring really well. I agree that it's an absolute stunner!

Thanks, guys. That Rainbow's End is twice the size of what you see in the picture. I'm fixing to install (I just ran out of time today) a soaker system in my gardens on Sunday. It will save 70% on water and not obligate me to either stand outside with a hose or go back and forth adjusting the position of my sprinkler. And, it won't give anything to complain about from certain neighbors, who think they will melt if the porch gets wet from the sprinkler.

There is a gap about 1/2" wide between the concrete slabs forming the sidewalk leading from the public sidewalk to our porch. That is right in line with a proposed piece of hose connecting the ovals of hose I want to go around the gardens. I intend to lay the piece of hose connecting the 2 ovals right into that gap, so it should lay flush and not give anyone something to complain about, that they could trip on. I will wrap it in something impermeable, like plastic or a piece of plastic tubing. Further, I can disguise it by smearing clear silicon caulking on it and then pouring natural fish gravel or sand over that, to make it blend in and just look like mud or something. What do you think of this layout?

I am thrilled that everyone enjoys my garden so much. Just keep in mind that it looks good IN SPITE OF ALL THE HOO-HA from the co-op manager and certain neighbors. You guys probably just have to deal with droughts and slugs and voles. I have to deal with human pests as well.

Sorry that the pics I took today don't give you a look at the OTHER hostas I have at the other end of the left-hand garden. The minis---Appletini, Cracker Crumbs, Pure Heart, and Cameo---are doing great in their 18" glazed ceramic pot (ooooh, we just got a letter from the management that we're not allowed to have pots now--my cat LOVED that letter as a litter box liner). I will have to take pics also of my beautiful Paisley Print in the pot next to the minis. It has a yellow calibrachoa to keep it from getting lonely in the pot. Also over there is Blue Jay, which really came into its own this year, my new Ivory Queen, my new Coconut Custard, Maui Buttercups, First Mate, Country Mouse, my fabulous Marilyn Monroe (it's HUGE), a better look at my new Mellow Mood, my Grand Prize, my teeny Sparkler and my crazy Strike It Rich rose, with the weirdest branches I've ever seen, yet it's blooming.

Esther, I took this picture Wednesday to share with you, thanks for making it convenient. Coconut Custard in bloom.
