I like the way you combine your hostas with other plants... the leaves of my hostas look like the famous Emmental cheese...they have a lot of holes (slugs).Babarahttp://www.baroga.chnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-48336806322004151282010-08-25T07:47:24.596-04:002010-08-25T07:47:24.596-04:00Seeing green and enjoy figuring the layers and tex...Seeing green and enjoy figuring the layers and textures here.<br />I don't have much plants in my garden but really love to have something like this in my garden!yoon seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829522216682862647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-53358016494536313532010-08-24T22:29:26.078-04:002010-08-24T22:29:26.078-04:00Loved your story about the little bird on my blog!...Loved your story about the little bird on my blog!SandyCarlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752798823532580733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-65336436020608601342010-08-24T09:18:03.497-04:002010-08-24T09:18:03.497-04:00Thank you for voting for my dogs (#21, 22 on FiFi&...Thank you for voting for my dogs (#21, 22 on FiFi's blog!)<br /><br />Your garden looks so fresh and cool, in the middle of this hot summer!Tracy F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03373078078896261229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-91589887571182761002010-08-23T16:19:24.547-04:002010-08-23T16:19:24.547-04:00Some of my hostas still look great.

Glad your visitor enjoyed the garden, how could she not??<br /><br />I have something I am nursing at the moment....not sure if itis a weed or not. I usually end up with some horribly invasive plant that I loathe.

If there's anything crispy about your garden, you sure can't tell from these pictures. I have one of those un-ID'd weeds growing too, just to see what it turns out to be.

Some of mine are definitely looking crispy around the edges...still waiting for rain.<br /><br />I had to laugh at your keeping the weed to see what it looks like. I just cut out some mare's tail from the butterfly garden because I don't want this weed to take over, but I have to admit it has some pretty blooms. I let it grow for a long time because I wasn't sure if it was a weed or a forgotten flower:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-68682632523026222382010-08-19T09:24:34.413-04:002010-08-19T09:24:34.413-04:00I had to laugh at your hulking beast of a weed. I...I had to laugh at your hulking beast of a weed. I do that too -- I leave a big old weed in place to see if I can identify it by bloom. And of course when it blooms I find out it is purple loosestrife, the worst of the worst invasive here. Loved your term "crispy". That's how I would describe my garden now.Laurriehttp://laurries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-60198274864767536152010-08-18T20:54:58.215-04:002010-08-18T20:54:58.215-04:00Love love LOVE that "wild" texture shot!...Love love LOVE that "wild" texture shot!
