It's just started raining here in Lansing. I am grateful! Hope
it lasts at least 24 hours.
I am trying to find the names of all the small hostas I can
identify. I have lemon-line, Stilleto, tiny tears, Little Jim,
Rock princess, Green eyes, Green Elf, and Chartreuse Wiggles.
What others exist? Where might I find them? I have several
neighbors who are amazed that I can grow hostas in small troughs.
My other hostas are actually sending up some flower scapes--too
early! Geraniums are in full bloom.
I was very pleased yesterday to discover that one of the local
garden centers had imported a couple of the tiny hostas (both of
which I had). At least they are recognizing that not all hostas
are big!
Spent a hour yesterday carefully ringing every hosta with chicken
grit to cut the slug damage--just in time for the rain. Now I'll
have to check it weekly to be sure the birds haven't eaten it
all.
