Signs of Autumn approaching !

Let's talk weather at Het Gazebo !
 We've had two heat waves, 
warmer than normal temperatures for this time of the year 
which meas a lot less rain fall !
But with all that being said,
Het Gazebo had a few gorgeous hosta growing months !
It's been a great Summer !
 Autumn begins next week !
We're ready to welcome those golden hosta colours !

Nights getting longer,

Days shorter , Autumn is approaching !
A golden hue starts to take over from the gorgeous Hosta greens ! 
Somewhere there's a frog . Can you spot it ?
A warm dry week forecast for the week ahead  !
Time to use the built in irrigation !

Het Gazebo, Where friends meet up !

It's very warm ! 
 Another heat wave in The Netherlands !
That didn't deter the volunteers and friends
from catching up at Het Gazebo this morning
with water, coffee and Belgian bonbons :)
Looking good !

They, the hostas, know, you can tell

It's August !
The days are getting shorter, nights longer.
There's a shift towards the late summer Hosta garden.
Hosta growth has stabilized.
Hosta 'Wu-la-la' did do great after a rough start !
More and more seed heads replace flowers
But it's not Autumn just yet !
Next week we're expecting Summer 
temperatures once again !

Het Gazebo Hosta Summer !

The Dutch Summer weather continues !
And so does the weeding at Het Gazebo !
The team enjoyed coffee with fresh baked courgette cake
for their coffee break ! What a treat !
A beautiful location to spend a few hours !
Even the slugs choose their hostas carefully !

Summer in Diepenheim has its moments !
