My fave aunt cut off some of her monster hosta for me on Mother’s Day, so this plant is my most prized thing ever… But some of the root broke off and only left the crown. I’m trying to root it now. Have you ever had to do that? Wondering about the success rate with it. Also, thanks for sharing your garden skillz!!

I do love the purple lately, it’s never been a favorite, but I’m coming around ;)

Awh, thanks Lori! Your backyard sitch sounds tyte, you have a solid base to work with. Have some friends share some hostas and salvia, you’ll be on your way in no time.

Sure, I can post some more about the veggie garden! I’ll get a post together in the next month.

I do think transplanting takes some time – it’s a shock to the system for those little guys. I’d wait it out. Regarding the peppers, I would wait – my theory with gardening is always trial and error, if they never come around then you know for next year to try a different location, buy them from the store, or take them out of the garden all together. Are they in a very sunny spot?? – they need tons of sun. Anyway, I normally stick with plants until they die, you never know if they might come around.

I don’t know what to tell you about the pests, except that squirrels are the worst! I have one that has repeatedly dug up a new iris.

Lastly, I am having a slow start with my garden too – the greens are the only things flourishing, but they like the cold weather – I put mine out a long time ago as well (end of March), so that might have something to do with the size difference. Everything else in my garden is taking its sweet time this season.

Thanks, Karrie!
