Re: [SG] early hosta
Margaret,
I appreciate the encouraging comments. Basically, I believe that plants want to
grow and if we give them a chance that is what they will do. Sometimes, though, I
am uncertain as to whether I am doing the right thing. Seeing those little shoots
made me feel good.
I was in the yard earlier and saw a sure sign of Spring -- the first woodchuck of
the season. They are the bain of my summer existence.
Thank you.
Frances
