Nancy says,“I finally get under one’s skin to rake out my shade garden in between snowfall , and unwrap that all of my mature genus Funka were wintertime feed for voles and they are GONE . So I am share pics of my mature garden as it was , since I will be starting over with the hostas .

“ My big projection last twelvemonth was installing a cobblestone edging to keep my female parent and UPS out of the garden ( without damage any vehicles ) . It was ruffianly to turn over out the driveway . Although leap in my tint garden is my favorite time , first with the electric-light bulb and then with the leaping flowers of phlox , froth flower , primula , alliums , I value the genus Funka for keeping the garden lively during summertime . ”

But just think of all the new varieties you may attempt now … . * * * Anyone got any planting strategies Nancy can habituate to keep the new hostas good ? * * * Thanks , Nancy !
