The Hosta

Walking round the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh one sees many different varieties and colours of Hosta plants, and the displays are amazing. We have always loved them, in our garden in the Glen we have around fourteen Hosta plants, they are leafy, vary in size and develop flowers later in the year. Conditions for growing them here must be ideal as they get more prolific every year, and rabbits appear not to like them! We have decided to try and develop a Hosta patch, an area in the garden that is given over to them, they are easy to split and we will be doing this in the autumn. It takes them about two years to recommence growth so it will be interesting to see what happens.
Today down at the beach it was very calm and about six grey seals were swimming close to the shore, Ruaridh stood at the edge of the sea fascinated as the heads of the seals kept popping up and down.
