Indian Summer !

25C! Sunny and a warm wind in Diepenheim at Het Gazebo!
This past month has seen perfect growing conditions for weeds!
What a difference from when we left here last month!
The volunteers enjoyed the weather and kept at it!
There is still time to enjoy hosta leaves in a vase!
We'll be here next month! Wednesday  October 17th!

Lots of great ideas! Have to see how this one grows!

 At least 1,200 hostas! And great ideas too! 
What a way to spend an afternoon in September!
 Thanks to Auctioneer masters Jannes and Ben

 Laughs, bidding, hostas and a few other things
brought in a few extra Euro's for the " vereniging" !

 Hosta! The Friendship plant!
 Next time you make a flower arrangement,
try adding a hosta leaf in a creative new way!
Thanks Mrs. Bergerhof for sharing this idea!
And if you missed the list!
Thanks Mr. Bergerhof!
September in a hosta garden, after the Summer we had,
was a special treat to us all! Thanks for welcoming us in!
