Today I dug up our granddaddy hosta and divided it into 8 separate plants1 ... . I planted these along the north side of the garage and under the tree (marked them with sticks so I know where to water). I wasn't sure what I was doing, I just went for it!2 I think I may have planted them too deep. Now what?
1. This was tricky, first of all, there was a stupid tree branch running
under the hosta preventing me from getting good leverage with the
shovel (and no stupid tree anywhere nearby, go figure). Second of all, I was wearing plastic flip flops which really aren't the best footwear when you are trying to jump on a spade as if its a pogo stick. Anyways, once I tore the root ball from the
earth, I had to separate them. I tugged at those roots, bracing my knee on the ground and
using all the force I could muster...it was kinda fun!
2. I seriously have gardening DOMS - I
probably wont be able to lift my arms over my head to wash my hair
tomorrow....and my right shin really hurts too, huh?
