Happy Hosta Wishes for 2025 !

Right now , according to the meteorlogist, 

we're in the gloomiest weather period since 1993 !

Start date 9 December.

Gloomy, but with a high today of 13 C !

Sunshine is forecast for Friday !

It's almost the longest night !

Soon the days will be getting longer !

Wishing you a Merry Christmas

and a peaceful and hosta filled 2025 !

Looking back through old photos I came across this one.

Next year there is something to celebrate !

 

Thery're a hardy bunch !

That's both hostas and volunteers !

This morning, very cold but sunny ,

Het Gazebo looks great ! Even a few green ones !

There's snow in them there clouds !

Ther weather forcast calls for a change in the weather.

There certainly was !

By 2 this afternoon !

First snow of the season ! 

 

Mid November Autumn hosta colours

 Coppers and browns ! That's how it's looking !

Het Gazebo is still open for visitors !

 

Het Gazebo , hostas, the frienship plant

Het Gazebo, a place where friendships grow 

just like hostas 

Cold ! Foggy ! Wet leaves and weeds !

A thick covering of beech leaves.

Now, where's that hot chocolate ? 

 

This Hosta leaf, Het Gazebo, is changing

to its Autumn shade, under a banket of red beech leaves !

Cloudy and dry enough, with a high of 15 C, the volunteers

could have their coffee with home baked goods outside.

Next week it's November !

Nights will be getting colder !

There are still a lot of leaves yet to fall !

 

A very foggy morning !

The Netherlands was covered in a thick layer of fog this morning !

Autumn ! Sure is colourful !

Lots of different fungi to find !

Hostas changing colour !

Hosta 'Wu-la-la' !

And the mist coated spider webs are a sure sign it's October !

But wait ! What's this !

New growth and a snail !

 

Feels like 21 C !

It was one of those beautiful Autumn days when

the weather's great, the sun comes out and 

the volunteers make a weeding difference at Het Gazebo !

Perfect any time of year 

but especially now it's 

the famous appelgebak , 

Dutch Apple Pie !

How long will this stay green ? 

Mid October and still shining !
