How cold does your winters get? Will the soil freeze through? I guess the hardiness zones given for hostas are when they're planted in the ground....
Indeed we did, gardengater. :D The edible goodies were gone before we crossed the border between Sweden and Norway, bar a couple of jam jars, but...
:lol: Yup, it would have worked on this one for certain.
I'm so sorry I can't be more of a help to you, sensibullmastiffs. Hostas are very difficult to ID, even the brand new varieties have look-a-likes...
Petunia is going to be a grandmother! How lovely. :D It's so strange when the babies move out and make lives of their own, isn't it? And you're...
I suspect you're right there, toni. The bug's habit of wandering off with edibles and goodies is a well known fact to those who've experienced it....
Ohohoh! I wish my garden would look like that after the rain. :D You've got such vibrant colours, and how do you keep your plants so well-behaved?...
Ok, I've been looking in my books and I think the top one is a Hosta ventricosa. It's got big, shiny, heart-shaped leaves and is a vigorous...
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Netty. *bowing* I can't take these hostas by appearance, but I'll do some research. Those big, shiny leaves are...
The best way to deal with this particular bug is to feed it small tidbits from whatever edible's growing and closely monitor it's movements until...
I'm so lucky, I didn't have to live through the suspense but got to see your results immediately. :D Congratulations, all three, on a lovely...
I think I've said so before but I'll repeat it now: You're an amazing chap! :D Your plane is lovely, what a wonderful idea.
Oooh! High up! I'm not very good with heights you see. The view is amazing though, and that see looks rather swimable. :D
Welcome to the forums marcydaisy, from the coast of mid-Norway. :D Isn't grandmotherhood great? Hop in and make yourself at home. I'd love to see...
As Sjoerd named it. :lol: A sort of semi-destructive bug you don't want too many of in your garden. It munches on everything edible and pokes it's...
That's a very ugly-charming face for certain. :D I'm sort of glad it's so small.
Thank you Petunia. I'm sorting and editing, but it's still some time away. Sjoerd, we only have five so far. There's a couple more we'd like...
Now, that's cool if anything is. :D
I'm with Eileen, I really don't like them at all.
Your photos are exquisite, and you nearly, but only nearly, made me admire wasps there.
