My hostas hate me.

9 years ago

I knew it was happening when the houses across the field were torn down. I was getting a retention pond. I had no idea what the changes were to be but 4 days before they started we had a meeting with the city. Long story short I went from this

to this in just one working day.

Some hostas loved it others did not. After that it did not rain. It will be an interesting spring. I do have to say that the pond did save me from flooding from Hurricane Mathew and now I have a pair of mating ducks.

    Hostas are not haters, so don't worry, they luv you! lol.

    Does it look better now with the pond built? Too bad they couldn't/wouldn't let trees stay around it. That would help it look more natural. If it had to happen then flood control is a good benefit along with ducks, too. .....I'd be more worried about the hostas lack of water last year than the new sun they were exposed to.
