Yeah. I hate hostas generally but it really does remind me of NZ (though of course these are not NZ natives). Ashley wanted them and I admit it works well.
Theres Jack in the pulpit in the spring and two colours of Trilliums too
It's funny, because for awhile the chipmunks were mysteriously absent ... and at the same time, I was finding some heckin big gardener snakes around (they like to sunbathe or hide under my hostas).
But this year I haven't seen the snakes, and the chipmunks are back.
I have relatively few spots but I squeeze one more in than the previous owners. Tetris style.
I take keys rarely-on days I'm stuck home and only people I know or have parked before.
And yes. It's not like we have time to landscape with the babies but the hostas take some damage. They grow back.
Yes, pretty good at area denial regarding other plants. Some kind of weak, jointed weed endemic to my area manages to occasionally grow fast enough to get through the foliage, but otherwise - like hostas - these things prioritize maximizing the space they have.
Today's win: yardwork done by 12:15
Today's loss: Started the weekend w/ 5 hostas in front bed. Today, 4 hostas. One eaten clean to the ground, wonder who π°π¦
Will I sort through my hiking photos and post them? Eventually ..maybe..
Either way look at this lovely hosta gifted to me 2 years ago that was waiting for us when we got home
