WOW!!! Very lovely!! If you ever come to NC and need/want to do some work, let me know.

and she drives a ford... can't beat that lol

LOL spend too much on plants to drive anything newer. Thank you Myrle for posting these and for all the help. I guess it is starting to look great when you put it the way you did. Just think .. I was trying to get out of work but now never want to leave my yard.

Next step and Definetly the last. This is to be overflow bed but I just had to get it started a bit with the odd new hosta

now that my whole yard is exposed( mess and all) I may as well show you I do like othe plants too

I love all these rocks which might be free in the mountains. Nice pond! Nice gardens!

Thanks for the tour - would love to see a fast forward 2 years from now.

Paul

Again, lovely. Your view is stunning as well! Nice work!!!

Everything you have done is just wonderful! I love all of the natural elements you have used together with the man-made objects. It has made the garden very interesting, you never know what to expect.

And you couldn't have had a better mentor. Every time Myrle posts pictures of her gardens, we all drool! :)

There is no "almost" about it. Faye is hooked.

Steve

Sreve, does this mean I should get help? I think Myrle already did that. It sure beats stupid email jokes lol Faye

Oh we can provide all the help you'll need. Have you seen the Alphabet yet? Have you looked at the Garden Tour photos in the Gallery section? Here's a little eye candy for you.

Great Expectations planted with Hachenochloa Aurea

Steve

Absolutey beautiful and you can just imagine how it will only keep improving as the plantings mature.

Jon

Beautiful. It helps me think about the garden as well as my hosta.

Thanks

Steve you are as BAD as Myrle. I have toured some of the gallery and I got a great expectation on my trip to The Greenery on their 2 for 1 sale( 10 with that recent purchase)Yesterday I found a Titanic and a Butter Crunch but can't find much information on that one . Sounds like BC is going to be pale green and so far Titanic is a really dark green and very pretty if it stays this way. Myrle said they have one called Frozen Margarita that I just have to have. She is so bad too. I may have to just go look ....40% off so it is a must! lol

Steve, you're right there's certainly no 'almost' about it! She's beyond hope. This is a new experience for me, mutual encouragement for our addiction. My sister and I have shared the love of hostas for over ten years but we only really visit each other's garden a couple times a year. My other friends really like the garden but in a general way. They don't want to know the name and detail of each plant. This is a fun thing! I'd also like to say it's a two way street. Faye and her hubby are so generous with help when needed and Faye has made some wonderful wooden creations and given me some. I'll post some pictures soon but today the garden awaits.

I really like the combo of the Great Expectations and grass. That grass is really borderline here and though I try to grow it, it usually looks like a pathetic weed.

These photos are gorgeous. I would love a neighbour/friend like Myrle! Faye, this is a lovely testament to what is obviously a great friendship and not just a hosta sistership! :-)

Hard to believe how much it has grown and now wonder what to do with all the extras when I have to thin some down in the spring lol

How satisfying it must be to be able to compare these before and after pictures. I'm in the same boat having to thin out plants now that some are reaching mature sizes.
