Hostas and weather !

Gardeners do like talking about the weather !
It was the coldest Ascension Day (Hemelvaartsdag)
14th of May this year, since 2014 !
Then today, it was a warm 18 C in Diepenheim !
Highs of 25 C and above starting Friday and continuing
through out next week!
Hostas will be growing for sure
after all the rain the last few weeks !

Could this be the Hosta virus ?
Beter remove them with caution just to be sure.
Wow ! Looking great !
Weeding continues at Het Gazebo !

Rainy days in May !

Are much appriciated after April !
It was one of the top 3 driest April months on record !
Last week was just to rainy to enjoy getting out there.
Today there were a few " local showers" which 
were more like a local downpour ! 
Het Gazebo is filling and growing in nicely !
Hosta leaves are always best after the rain !
The last hostas have been planted !
This week has been rather cool for this time of year.
Hostas are the perfect plant for this climate !
