More Hostas... are we surprised?

What a beautiful day!  Almost 70 degrees... as if it were some cosmic April fool's joke. 

So what did I do with this beautiful day?  Why played in the gardens, of course.  After donning my garden shoes (I know, nasty, right?), I thought that maybe it's time to trade them in for something more durable, maybe even waterproof.  But then again, there is comfort in the familiar.  And why would I want to spend money on new garden shoes when I can spend it on new garden PLANTS!

So after cleaning all the debris and leaves from the perennial beds, I hopped on to the Bluestones Perennials website and put a few more must have hostas in my cart.  Here's what I chose:

Peanut

Devil's Advocate

Independence

Blue Ivory

They were on sale... my common defense.  How many hostas can a girl have?  Turns out, not enough.

On a side note, here's what's peeking up from the earth these days:

Bleeding Heart
Daffodils
Cherry Bells
Virginia Bluebells
Heuchera
Sedum - several varieties
Bee Balm (MMMM... how I missed that smell all winter!)
Iris
Perennial Bachelor Button
Daylilies - several varieties
Bishop's Cap
Monkshood
Obedient Plant
Nepeta
Chives (and I made potato salad today JUST so I could have something to add chives to!)
Jacob's Ladder
Primrose
Perennial mums
Lungwort

There was probably more, but this is the best my memory serves me at almost midnight after a very, very busy day.  This full body exhaustion is just more proof that the 2012 garden season is off to a wonderful, early start!
