Leeloo's Mum, Thanks for vi...Thanks everyone! <br /><br />Leeloo's Mum, Thanks for visiting again. I think I've counted 9 gardens just in the yard around my house!! There are a couple more across the driveway! No they don't all look good, some are sparse and right now have only sprigs of iris, lilly and/or dead roses from the beetles. I think it's going to take me quite a bit of time to make them work. I've noticed from my NY garden that coneflowers like to spread and fairly quickly and the birds do like them very much. So that's my plan...lots of coneflowers!<br /><br />Hi Barb, I haven't see any birds in the fountain yet, it's fairly small so they should be able to pop in with no prob. I realized the trap was a waist of time so we put sevin on the one tree and wish I'd done it sooner. I think I'll have to see what plans the bugs eat and not get those plants, like the roses...they look horrible! I hate to spray but I can't let these beautiful trees go to waste. <br /><br />Hi Leedra, <br />Well, I know there are all kinds of different sized hostas, but maybe to get to their full potential they need to have cold roots over the winter. Maybe there are micro climates in your yards. Some hostas can take more sun, the lighter ones, also. The beauty about hostas is they are so forgiving, you can move them around and divide them at almost any time of year. They just keep on going!<br />Thanks guys!Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554593974838511759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689529839056846101.post-55938338176613903022009-07-15T22:37:29.879-05:002009-07-15T22:37:29.879-05:00Maybe the cold roots for the Hosta is part of them...Maybe the cold roots for the Hosta is part of them being a shade plant. Did wonder why some get sooooo big and others didn't. Or the same one at my house doesn't, but at Mama's they are huge! That is because all of her huge trees around those hostas. <br /><br />I am really enjoying your new surroundings with you, as you find new flowers and things you couldn't enjoy in New York.Leedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914177127665868671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689529839056846101.post-19688143027347269092009-07-15T18:48:01.241-05:002009-07-15T18:48:01.241-05:00Eve, your gardens back in New York we just amazing...Eve, your gardens back in New York we just amazing, I am sure your talent will shine through there in Alabama.

I love that fountain! Will have to check at Lowe's. Thanks for the Hosta tip....I will have to try potting some. I used to have a nice bunch of them around my dogwood tree, but when the tree died, the hostas no longer got any shade and they have not looked good since. I moved a few, but need to do something with the rest.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890796903959709429noreply@blogger.com
