President's Message

President's Message from the Current Newsletter

Expressions from Ella!

We had a wonderful first meeting this past March. Looking forward to our annual April potluck, we will be again having it in Washington at Our Savior Lutheran Church. My garden jump started with the warm weather to give me a wonderful display of spring flowering bulbs. Luckily it has cooled off giving my sleeping hostas more time before emerging. I was worried I might have to cover them. I have found that bed sheets work well for covering and have a folded stack in my garage for this purpose. I am also fertilizing my hosta in April with an organic granular fertilizer called Hollytone. 

At April’s meeting I want to leave time for sharing garden hints to be more successful. Bob does a terrific job with timely articles in our newsletter too. Enjoy a new season of hosta gardening and hope to see you at the next meeting.
