Autumn is in the air at Het Gazebo !

Showers and sunshine !

Here and there, now and then !

Temperatures are " normal " for this time of year !

The first signs of Autumn !

And the early harvest of pumpkins !

A beautiful time to wander amongst the hostas !

 

It rained last week !

After 5 heat waves !

A beautiful August day to enjoy Het Gazebo !

This week the volunteers were weeding

that never ending clover !

Autumn is in the air !

Forecast for tomorrow is 30 C and then rain !

Can you believe next week we're in September !

Shadows !

Hard working volunteers !

It's on its way !

Next week's cooler and rain expected !

 

Het Gazebo

After the fouth heatwave of 2026 !

The Netherlands was designed to get rid of as much water from the land

as quickly as possible. 

Times have changed ! It's so dry ! Low water levels are breaking records !

It's the forth heatwave within two months !

Hostas are coping !

looking good !

buds 

to seed heads !

How long will this dry spell last ?

Looking forward to rain and cooler temps !

Thank you volunteers !

 

 

First half of this Summer was sunny and warm !

Record breaking temperatures and water levels dropping! 

That changed this week with cooler temps 

and a few light showers here and there.

You can almost here the sighs of relief !

Beautiful buds !

You know it's really dry at Het Gazebo

when the irrigation system gets turned on ! 

Het Gazebo is a great place to meet up with friends 

and enjoy strolling the paths through this abstract Hosta leaf !

 

The dry warm weather continues !

It's dry ! 29 C ! Code amber, warm weather protocol !

So the volunteers tried their best to stay in the shade !

It's so dry. Most hostas have finished flowering.

Feels like mid August in a hosta garden !

But there are a few that look gorgeous !

Great job trying to keep ahead of the weeds !

Nice !

The Summer vacationers are stopping by for a chat about hostas :)

Stay cool and hydrated just a few more days !

Weather 's changing next week !

 

Just like your own garden....

if you skip a week you will really notice it !

The volunteers had a cooler, overcast morning at Het Gazebo !

and the slightest bit of rain, 22 C :)

There was enough to do !

The results are great to see !

Most of the hostas are flowering !

While some are the later flowering kind !

A refreshing day at Het Gazebo 

before the Summer heat returns tomorrow !
