>Hi-
>I love in MA and have been renovating my garden after years of not being
>able to do so due to a back injury suffered in a car accident. One day I
>was looking at some old hostas I've had for about 20 years and I decided
>to get back into gardening bigtime.
>I have planted about 120 varieties of hostas in the past three years. They
>are my favorites. I can hardly wait 'til they mature and must say that
>they are doing rather well.
>I'm having some slug damage, but have a few toads to help out. One is a
>resident of a planter box. I've placed a piece of slate over one end of it
>and he comes and goes and has been doing so for about 2 months. He is
>really cute.
>I have 4 dogs, so don't want to use slug bait. Have been wondering about
>diatomaceous earth or spraying with ammonia. Any suggestions? <G>
>I am in the process of planting daylillies, coneflowers, lavender and
>thyme along with decorative grasses in a sunny portion of the yard also.
>I have planted ferns, lamium, cranesbills, gingers, peonies, columbines,
>Bishop's weed and sweet woodruff, but plan on adding more varieties of
>groundcover.
>It has been so rainy and humid in New England that I haven't had to water
>for some time. Last summer was so dry-what a difference!
>I have a husband named Steve who teaches 8th grade Language Arts and US
>History.I teach kindergarten and have for the past 28 years. Also love
>photography and my computer!
>Would be interested in hearing more about shade-loving daylillies as I
>love them, too.
>Thanks for the welcome to the list! Hope to learn and enjoy.
