Like my new garden? After several years of thinking about it (that’s how I work best!) we had the shrubs removed this spring and I finally got around to moving the hostas! There were two very big plants in the backyard, smack in the middle of the yard. I spent a day and half readying the front garden, loosening soil, removing roots (and roots, and roots, and more roots!), and digging holes. This afternoon I dug up the two hostas, split them into five (still goodsized plants!) and replanted them in the front. Only time will tell if it was a successful transplant or a total massacre! Splitting hostas is no easy job and I’m pretty sure I did some serious damage to a few of them. Then I forgot to water them. Oops! It was late and I had to get the kids inside for bath and dinner. Hopefully the hostas survive!

Before - an empty garden

After - hostas!

A Lex in a tree. He still needs help getting into the tree, but he can now climb pretty high up, climb back down again, and get himself out of the tree! At the neighbor's house this afternoon he climbed on top of their baby playhouse thing and got himself into a tree. He was very proud of himself!
