I'm also doing my first hostas - never had enough shade for em before. Found another camanula - now I have 3 varieties, all different sizes. The dahlias are starting to get leaves and the veggie garden is in. Whew.
I still have the whole back fence area to weed and prune and mulch, but I'm getting there. The granddaughter planted my whiskey barrel with a spike and pink petunias. The kid is a natural.

I love Hostas. I am doing two hosta beds for clients right now and will be putting some in my front bed that faces North. I pulled out some Oregon Grape and two Rhoddies that didn't make it (they just don't do well here).
That particular Delphinium is absolutely gorgeous!
I pruned my lavendar way back this year and it's doing great! It was about 4' high and was blocking the yarrow from getting water. So, off with it's head! It's shooting back up again! And the yarrow is happy!
Not quite time to plant my pots yet, another week or so and I will be putting in my 12' long planter box on my deck! Can't wait!
Nice to see you again Brain!
