Hosta Toes
Most of the clumps of hostas are shoving out of the ground at Cedar Bluff. I like to think of their shoots as toes. The toes rise from the rhizomatic roots and are actually tightly packed leaves that unfurl and become a spreading hosta plant.
Our cool weather has slowed the growth of perennials. Ed says that the sugar beet crop is up but lacks moisture. With little snow for moisture, the ground is dry. Looks like we could use some April showers.
