Just some pix of a few of the hosta that escaped vole destruction this year. Ok, so I lie a little bit. Reptilian was definitely nibbled & is smaller this year. I think I need a better camera but this one's working for now

I know! Growing hosta is like musical chairs with plants. Every time I plant one that I expect to grow huge with lots of room - it turns out to be the slowest growing hosta known to man... and then when I plant them tighter ... one of them is bound to eat up its surrounding friends.
There is a Sagae in that bed too that I gave a lot of space to but it hasn't gotten any bigger in two years. With the voles this winter it's even smaller!! It just looks lost with all that space around it. ((There are only so many impatiens a girl can plant on an acre, ya'know?? )) The unknown one is right on the pathway and it grew like a weed - totally unexpected!

I think I am going to take photos at the end of the season to REMIND me which plants I need to move. I have a Key Lime Pie that grew up to what I expected it might be in two or three years in one season! I really don't feel like moving them in the heat of the summer and don't want to risk losing any more than I already have over the winter. I'll map everything out and then hope I have the energy next spring!Now I just guess and think I can always move it!!!
Moving a few around is part of the fun for me I think.
