This garden in Vermont gets about one hour of morning sun, the rest, dappled shade. The hosta is Siboldiana. The leaves are green all summer. The flower-clear white.

Funnily enough, the slugs don't seem to eat these leaves. Too much like cabbage? They do a job on the thinner ones. I also have some vase shaped host, it also has thicker leaves and they leave that one too. I have chippies and rabbits to contend with. It's amazing how a chipmunk can climb up a stem...
And by the way, I like your pics so much and your colored cat.

Thanks Posy! That's Tedward my gorgeous spoilt boy....:)). I've just finished another watercolour, I'm really enjoying the time painting and after all these years, having time to spend on it!

Beautiful greens!
(You haven't seen my blog "Messy Bits", Wells. If you had, you wouldn't worry a bit. And if you do check it out, you'll never ever take me seriously again - if you ever did ?)

I love humor and the older you get, the better it is! So let's not get too serious.
