April has been a rainy month. There has been at least 6 weeks of rainy weekends! This week I noticed the hosta plants emerging through the soil. The ground is ready for transplanting. Hopefully, I can tackle this job this weekend. It is a task I enjoy doing. Every five years hostas need to be divided and replanted in an area that makes it more productive. This year I will be transplanting some in the shady area between the houses. Last time I did the transplanting of hostas I gave a bunch away. This is the second year since I transplanted Grandpa Cox's daylillies which reproduce themselves easily. I do not have any irises yet, but those are hardy in reproducing themselves too! Hostas come in many varieties; they grow in any soil conditions.; hot weather burns the leaves during summer months. The hostas to the rear of the yard get quite stately by the end of August! I like all the variations of green and with one or two red flowers......WOW! Hostas are a winning plant in my book.
