Look familiar ?
Signs of Autumn in a hosta garden !
An explosion of baby snails !
Leaves yellowing, dissapearing !
It's October ! But stil a comfy 17 C today to get out and garden!
At Het Gazebo the volunteers are deadheading,
cutting off the scapes, so the energy goes back
in the plant and roots and not in the seed heads.
But there are lovely surprises !

Changing Seasons at Het Gazebo !
Today started out as Autumn, ended as Summer !
In the news last week...
Regional heatwaves ,defined as five consecutive days above 25C including three over 30C , have been declared in parts of the Netherlands after the temperature passed 25C for the fifth day in a row on Friday.
and yesterday in Limburg
Heavy rains caused flooded streets and basements in parts of Zuid-Limburg on Tuesday evening. The KNMI had a code yellow warning in effect for the province, warning of downpours. Wednesday will be a mix of clouds and sun in the Netherlands, with strong winds along the coast and rain in the north during the morning.
We're here at Het Gazebo !
250 km north of Maastricht you'll find Diepenheim
Fall is in the air and in the hostas !
But you can still enjoy the later in the season flowering hostas !
Great weather expected this weekend so come and enjoy the area!

Hosta & Het Gazebo weather !
It certainly feels like Autumn !
August weather sure was erratic !
Was it really 27 C last week ?
Today didn't even reach 17 C !
It was a chilly 15 C in the rain !
Thanks to the volunteers for keeping up their
regular weeding Wednesday visits !
Hosta Wu La La
Just when you thought one had kicked the Hosta addiction
this one shows up !
Thanks to Fahner
Groot blauw groen blad met een gele rand. 'Empress Wu' sport uit de USA en lijkt waarschijnlijk veel op onze 'Wunderbar'.Hosta Wu-La-La heeft blauwe bladeren met een gele rand en is een extra large Hosta met licht lila bloemen en groeit in halfschaduw en schaduw . De hoogte is 100 tot 120 cm en de groei is gemiddeld .
It's still great weather for planting hostas !

Autumn plans including Het Gazebo ?
It was 27 C in Diepenheim today !
There's no thoughts of autumn while weeding today !
Sunshine and enough daylight hours keep the weeds growing !
Het Gazebo looks great !
Natuur als sculptuur. Zo kun je het unieke Land-Art-project van de Belgische kunstenaar Urbain Mulkers (1945-2002) omschrijven. Aan de oever van de Regge, zijn in 1995 1.393 hostasoorten geplant, omzoomd door een dubbele rij van 136 rode beuken.
If you're in the area this Fall ,
there's this

A great Walk along the Regge guide book
