My name is Devon, aka "Papa" to my kids. I have been into Hostas for a number of years and was just getting my collection going on our 3 acres of wooded land, it was to be a Hosta Utopia. Unfortunately we had to leave our house going on two years ago and move out to the in-laws farm, due to our sons medical condition. Shade is at a premium here, but my dream is to change that situation. I am now a stay-at-home Papa and this is the first summer that we got to spend some time working outside on landscaping. It is like a blank canvas here, my FILs idea of landscaping is a sprayer full of herbicide!
I like to tinker and get my hands dirty. Being outside this summer and babying the Hostas back to life that I had quickly dug up almost two years ago has given me Hosta Fever and I like it! I am enjoying this forum and the other on gardenweb. My DW and I talked tonight about trying to make it up to Michigan sometime in September, I can't wait. We may have to drive the truck though!
