I was out looking at the garden today. I had a few leaves showing the other day from some of the hostas I had planted from seed, but had not seen any true little pips, I knew it had to be getting close. So I started pulling back the heavy layer of mulch the oak trees have laid down for me and sure enough there were some pips showing. As I stated in my post about 'SunHosta' I suspected 'So Sweet' would be one of my earliest Hostas to show.
Here are a few more I found, but they are not as far along.
