One of the plants that I’ve wanted to have in my One of the plants that I’ve wanted to have in my garden for so many years!

It was growing in our neighbours yard in my home country. When I was a kid I loved seeing those white “snowballs” on that tree. 

Many years later, in one of the local nurseries, I noticed a tiny plant that looked so familiar, I was almost crying when I saw it 😊

Of course I got it!

It has only been in our garden for 3 years but it has grown into a beautiful plant which seems to be happy and shows off it’s gorgeous blooms!

Some plants, like hosta, love it! They grow rapidly and show off 😁

We don’t mind it! Let them shine 😉

Honestly, I’m becoming obsessed with hosta! I wish I could add so many more of them into our small urban lot where we try to grow fruit and veggies and a few flowers 😊

They are also perfect plants to fill the shady spots. And because there are so many kinds, sizes and colours of them, you can create gorgeous garden spots with them!

Who else is obsessed with hostas or planning to add them in their gardens?

Do you can your produce? What’s your favorite jam?

Is it just me or you’ve experienced that too?
