Hi all ,
It has been 3 weeks since I "redid" the front beds.
I can't believe how it has filled in. Gotta love "fish emulision:
here are the early shots and now.

I am hoping the hosta will be happier in that garden with only morning sun
last year it sent out 10 flower spikes, I can't wait to see what it does this year.
Do you know if they can be "divided"
They can, and they will thank you for it. I took mine in Michigan from divided ones that my MIL gave to me, and I divided them every couple of years, my whole back was filled with them. Do they do well in FL? I thought it would be too hot for them in the south.

Cassy shhhh I don't think mine knows it isn't suspose to grow here
Last year in the back garden it was in full sun all afternoon. it sent out the flowers but the leaves got a bit "crispey" form the sun .
So how does one go about dividing this plant
Should I want till it is done for this year ?
thanks
Karla
Beautiful, Karla.
Even my hosta in Denver would get a bit crispy in high summer, and the only sun it got was morning.
I can see that I am going to have to be cautious when I finally do have my own garden, the climate rules have changed a bit here.

thanks cil and everyone I am excited how it is coming along. Now to tackle the back screenroom. I have to many plants in there. I just moved 2 from the house into the screenroom I got tired of the dogs digging in them.
Karla - To divide I just took a shovel and ran it into quarters, of course I did this at the end of the season so I could just clip off the ends and next year they would not look quite as bad as a transplant could. They were quite thin that first year but after that looked beautiful.
That's a pretty hosta, looks like it's chartreuse colored. There are only a few varieties that like the long hot summers of Florida and that one looks like one of them.
I will post pictures when it sends out its flower spikes it really is pretty.
cassy- thanks I will try that at the end of the season it got huge last year it will be interesting to see if it gets bigger this year
