nice picture series thank you! - looks like wheee! might want a bigger pot

here's our 'greeter' :at the entrance to the gardens:

the front wheee! was sitting right here in the Sun all summer - the back one in the shade all summer both in pots , decisions decisions where to plant...

That's one crazy scape on Fire Island!

Paul's Glory just goes to crap like that. It's the one hosta that I regret buying. I moved it last year to a spot where I don't have to look at it. Shoulda' just tossed in far out in the woods along with Gold Standard which does the same thing. No surprise since PG is a sport of Gold Standard.

I am putting Wheee in a bigger pot next weekend and putting mums in the one it's currently in. As for Paul's Glory, I had been told that! :(

'Paul's Glory'? Sport of 'Perry's True Blue'. I'm lucky; I have a pair of PG and they've held up OK. They take sun here well.

Cheers,

Don, yea Fire Islands scape is pretty crazy. I didn't cut it because it was pretty much the whole plant until about a month ago.. And it's AWESOME, right?! PUD is pretty much bleached white with the exception of the newer leaves which are still yellow or greenish yellow. That was unexpected. I hear it's OK, though? It's just had too much sun and heat this year.

PG, well I don't know, The roots look good and the crown. No rot or anything. No signs anyway. I think it is just tired?

Hey, Brandy! Your hosta are doing well overall...good growth...I really like the " look at me" flower scape on your Fire Island. It's so out there. I just wanted to say how yummy your tomatoes look too. :-). Did you BLT them or salad?
HH...love, love your greeter!
Can't get enough of these pics. Still pondering Paul's Glory....

I thought my Whirlwind was whirling down for the summer, what with yellow leaves n all, but all it wanted was more water! Looks great now but thanks to my failure to provide sufficient water, the plant is reduced by four leaves...a significant reduction considering its slow growth in my garden. Otherwise, all good heading into fall.

Thanks Josephine, I have been watering it as much as I can. It's in the grey area this time of year, where you're supposed to stop watering as much but not stop yet. It's been so hot and HUMID here.

I don't know if PG will be back next year? It's looking pretty awful right now. But Mama Mia came back and she was in worse shape than him when I got her.

Picked out the larger pot for the wheee. I pick it up Friday. And I'm getting some mums. They will go in the pot the wheee is currently in.

I just ate the tomatoes like a peach. I love homegrown tomatoes. I could eat them all day long and nothing else. :)

Love the scarecrows in your garden :-)
