A Hosta Bed down the side of the veggie garden.



I was originally going to put shady veggies down the East side of the East yard. Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts etc. I changed my mind. This side is visible from the street and we walk it often, so I thought I'd turn it into eye candy. I am not sure how many hosta's I planted today...maybe eleven counting the one I put elsewhere, and two hydrangeas. So a few of the hosta's are in a spot that they will get a lot of sun for a few hours in the afternoon. The rest are further down the side and shady. We will see how it goes.

The varieties planted today:

Halcyon {43" wide}

Elegans {61" wide}

Twilight {28" width}

Minuteman {50" wide}

Sagae {70" wide}

Wide Brim {45" wide}

First frost {36" wide}

I can see I have made some overly large choices. Cool.
