Hosta G 2024 .. . . ... . ... . . ....
Could you have a spider monkey as a pet?
I am happy the wind died down. I have a nice and toasty 46* in the green house. I am happy with that but, just in case, I have the heat lamps in and on the ready. How is winter treating you?
Post some Gs today and let's have a snow party. You can keep the snow!

Comments (8)I have white hydrangeas at the moment and love them but they haven't done very well (but it's a different climate where I am just now). Yes, I'll give them another go if they're ok on the edge of the Pennines - the new garden is in the Cairngorms. Perfumed flowers are a nice idea so I'm going to add the mock orange to my plant list. I've succeeded with cornflowers, forget-me-nots and love in the mist but funnily enough never had success with heather. To be honest there's plenty of the natural stuff all around so I'll probably give it a miss. I've a question about tall grasses? How would they cope with the weight of snow? Presently I have bamboo (about 1m tall in pots) and it manages to cope with big dumps of snow but I do shake off whatever snow I can before it freezes and the sun is out. I'm also considering alliums along with the tulips, crocus, snowdrops etc Other plants I'm thinking follow but I'm stuck for ideas for other times of the year. I've grown some of these from seed before and don't mind so much if they fail: roses lupins delphiniums solomon’s seal lily of the valley phlox peony Japanese anemone campanula grannies bonnets foxgloves helibore lilies gladiola dahlia geranium hosta rhododendron foxgloves agapanthus moon daisies canterbury bells...See MoreHouse front garden: hedge, bamboo, climbers or just a wall?
Comments (34)Yes anon2005 I’ve just painted my new under the stairs cupboard in Dix blue and everyone who comes in the house says how much they like it. I’m really pleased with it. I’m toying with painting the whole hallway with it. I find Farrow and Ball colours work well in our UK bluish light, whereas some brighter colours can look a bit garish sometimes. I’ve even cheated when I couldn’t wait for it to come into stock and got it colour mixed at Dulux....See MoreTime to start planning a garden design! Help and ideas please? ☺️
Comments (25)Oh my word! Dyson is adorable! so ickle!! Now I wanna find a Rune (his name - like rune stones.. not like Rooney 😂) sized box to put him in. Thanks for the 3rd design! I'm always impressed how you come up with such interesting designs (compared to my rectangle of grass with straight boarders I'd envisioned) I think we still prefer the 1st design in part because Chris want's to keep more of the grass. I'd be tempted though to put some sort of low fence to deter Rune from eating crops so maybe I could put some plants against it and growing up that to help disguise? I think the old paving slabs is the best way forward atm instead of the stones... I never truly appreciated how many stones there were just around the garden... just around on the grass.. close to the house and rubble left from the building work, random ones on the small remaining bit of patio that I think have been kicked in from the driveway... Ironically the pile of new ones all in one place are the easiest to keep him away from! (doing the driveway has also jumped up to a higher priority for the year! 🙈) Does Dyson like your Dyson? (assuming you have one) I managed to terrify him the other day when I tried to clear up some of the bits of grass we'd brought back in with us (despite having a treat at the time!)...See More

Guacamole the only one left from before. This plant has its own tree, palm tree and now a new pine tree. Also a few others what is called here 'Flowering Onions'.

debra..my GS is old too!..I love upright/vase shaped hosta..I'd go for your GL Elegance..
mbug..thanks!..the centers of your Golden Meadows remind me of my Great Expectations..I wish my Japanese Painted ferns were as lush as yours (pictured below Golden Prayers)..your Gold Standard has leaves that vary too!..I never noticed GS grew this way..
it's not a close up but I can see my GS through the stems of this elephant ear..see it to the left of the tallest elephant ear leaf?..
you people have given me a new appreciation for it..this photo was taken last summer..the pic in the other comment is older..I'm looking forward to seeing it again..I want to see how it looks this year..😀
last yearlast modified: last yearPaula - My parents and one brother had a spider monkey as a pet. After they got older, they both got mean and nasty.
Great Expectations - One slow grower
Golden Tiara
Gold Standard - Looks like a little lunch for some critter
Gold Regal - Much lighter early in the year
Green Gold - Noah's Rainbow reverted
Gold Edger/Gold Drop - Comparing in HL and the data base, I don't see any appreciable difference. Under info in the data base, they both state white & lavendar flowers.
Guacamole - Remember Guacamole Don from Colorado?

last yearWe had about six inches of snow the other day, some wind gusts today.
I also got Gemstone because of how good Laurie’s looked! We do enable each other.
Old_dirt, all of your hostas show so well. Besides how good they look; your darker mulch really sets them off. And I wonder if Don ever looks at the hosta forum anymore?

lindalana..I have lysimachia growing by Fire Island in the front..I get the same effect as your combination..I love it..
last yearI just got Glad Rags. Glad to see a few of you have it. This picture was taken at the end of October. Holding up well considering it was late in the season.
Golden Meadows. A slow growing one.
Great Expectations. One of my favorites.
Ginsu Knife. Definitely needs to be removed as it is shadowing everything around it.
Gypsy Rose with Good Gracious beside it.
