I have always loved gardening and the love was instilled into me by my mom and dad. I always loved caring for my gardens. Whether it was a rental of one of our homes. I think it's in our blood! :) I love hostas and that combo really is gorgeous!

It never entered my mind that digging around the gas meter might not be the best idea.

We have several varieties of hosta around our house and we haven't had to buy a single one! We've had neighbors and friends that were more than happy to divide theirs and share with us. In return, we've divided and shared what we now have, too. They are so easy to take care of, too. I don't think we've ever had to water ours! They survive through everything. That's my kind of plant!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-19498803405217161462016-05-16T17:00:47.864-04:002016-05-16T17:00:47.864-04:00Hey, I didn't say the inside of the house was ...Hey, I didn't say the inside of the house was clean!
