Shady Garden

This garden in Vermont gets about one hour of morning sun, the rest, dappled shade. The hosta is Siboldiana. The leaves are green all summer. The flower-clear white.

That is a stunning Hosta Posy, I love them and so do all the snails and slugs in my garden.....:((

Funnily enough, the slugs don't seem to eat these leaves. Too much like cabbage? They do a job on the thinner ones. I also have some vase shaped host, it also has thicker leaves and they leave that one too. I have chippies and rabbits to contend with. It's amazing how a chipmunk can climb up a stem...

And by the way, I like your pics so much and your colored cat.

Thanks Posy! That's Tedward my gorgeous spoilt boy....:)). I've just finished another watercolour, I'm really enjoying the time painting and after all these years, having time to spend on it!

Do you think I would ever post holes on this site. You must be kidding. I am only jesting, the pics on this site are spotless, I do my very best to keep up!!!

Beautiful greens!

(You haven't seen my blog "Messy Bits", Wells. If you had, you wouldn't worry a bit. And if you do check it out, you'll never ever take me seriously again - if you ever did ?)

I love humor and the older you get, the better it is! So let's not get too serious.
