i just planted three hostas around the back side of the deck, the shrubs that are back there are reaching REACHING for some sunlight and the lower part of them is just bare.
I love hostas, but they do not do well here except in pots-all the shade at my house is on the north (front) and east facing sides, because that is where all the big trees are-the deck is all bright sunshine and the bare rocks of the cliff, except for one paltry corner where there is a really huge mountain laurel.
Titus is asleep on his back on my lap again after being removed from the keyboard-he sleeps so soundly that even my jamming to the stereo is not disturbing him.
4 of last year’s new set of 5 hostas have come up. I like them now but they were an acquired taste.
