Summer!

  The shortest night of the year!  The warmest day of the year !

Saw a hedgehog pass through the garden too last night!

Will it be back? I set a dish of water near.

Hosta 'Orange star' 

The center of the leaves should be lighter in colour.

So, I'll set this one in a sunnier place and wait and see!

Hosta ' Wheee' 

 This weekend The Dutch Hosta Society hosts their Summer garden tour in the province of North Holland! You know what that means! Hostas! So it's time to take stock of what's growing here!
By June it's very obvious what's growing and what's not!  Only two made the "no grow" category and have been deleted from my list, and garden! That makes 83 different hostas!

Check this out! Picked this up at the Action!

 Have to give it a try....

Take it out of the box...

 unfold it...

No tools needed! No instructions came with it! 

fold it back into place!

A two layer corner metal rack!

A versatile, movable. useful garden object!
