My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

First day of spring in zone 7b

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Hello! I have been following the Hosta forum for years. The pictures, advice, and humor have been invaluable. My main garden is in a dry creek bed fed by a series of swales. My efforts are thwarted by voles, rabbits, and squirrels, as well as chipmunks. Hostas are worth the effort. Here are some of my early risers to provide some much needed joy and distraction.

hosta lime ripple



Hosta Montana aureomarginata, a bit frost-bitten



Hosta wolverine


Hosta lemon kiss


Mess of hostas waiting until last frost date passes for this zone.



I have a beautiful Hosta sugar plum to show you, but I need to figure out how to rotate picture.
