Me. I'm trying to keep my head above water with other winter commitments. And I have to prepare a talk (about 30 minutes) for my local hort. society's June meeting which will be all about hostas. Need to learn to use powerpoint.

My own garden is a city lot 60' x 100' with some extra city easement at the front. I may have some gardens dug up when the city replaces our buried hydro services, but they've not gotten around to my street yet. I hope I get enough advance warning to dig out what is affected. My garden is pretty full but I'm beginning to assess some cultivars as non-performers and they are slated for removal and being sent to city yard waste. Won't share them as I've had an increasing problem with foliar nematodes the last few years. (Anyone know if our really cold winter this year might set those beasties back a bit?)

Ann, I do not have many blues because the wax coating melts and looks ugly, or they remain green. Like Blue Umbrellas. I think Blue Sophistication and Halcyon was a little blue. I have many greens and my favorite is Komodo Dragon.
