That's awesome! Good idea keeping mosquitoes away - I'm a friggen mosquito-magnet and get a new bite almost every time I go outside (and most of the lawn is kept tidy, but we don't clean up all the long grass in the "lily garden" - yet)
Very nice! They bounced back well! What else is in there with them? The bigger bushy leaves look kinda like geranium to me, but it's just a guess

It's great that you got to keep the original plan, once the trees got a little bigger!
But it's really quite amazing how well hostas do, when given shade. We have so many (in the back) that aren't even the same as any of the other hostas in our back yard!
We had a similar (but reversed) situation - had a giant oak in the front yard when we bought the house. We put hostas in the shade - our front yard was full shade, so they did really well.
A couple of years later, our oak got sick and full shade turned into part shade. Then we had to take it down, so the already stressed and crispy hostas - which had already stopped doing well - seem to be barely present in the front.
We don't have as many hostas in the front anymore.
Ya know, I think those are actually all volunteers - I think we also had only seen variegated, except for this one kind that are giant and blue.

Thank you, though! We also are loving how little grass can grow between/beneath them!
Thank you!
My spouse floated an idea that would double the size of this flower bed.

I'm all about that! I wanna split and scramble some of the colors around, now that I know what it all looks like!๐ค
I'm sure they would have been great ~
Sorry to hear that your deer are jerks (and those beetles! Man - those guys suck!)
Like the Santa maggot guy
I kinda like the idea of it being Santa instead of Satan ๐
Oh that's even cooler than decorative grass! The whole bed looks great, man. The scatter planting will be fun, too! Now I know that I like lupins ๐ thanks!
I'm gonna have to do some splitting and replanting this fall, too. The flowers did much better than expected after just one year - lol
Those look soo delicious! How many plants do you have? That's a good haul!
I knit and crochet, so when I saw this amigurumi horror show on display I fell in "love" with the stitches (which are somehow both and neither knit and crochet)
(Sdxl with added details lora and maybe/probably the yarn lora, but it was generated while I was asleep, so I don't have all the details)
Used a details lora and a rainbows lora. Kinda looks like bioluminescence may have also been selected, but that's just a guess ๐
We did a series of "baby photos" (with a Lora for added details) and some turned out good enough that I thought I'd share!
(I don't actually know how much to include but I was really happy with this guy)

Just tried again today, even though I wasn't expecting any different results from the last few Imagine my surprise! I'm pretty sure nothing happened on my end (Sync settings or instance).

This isn't from this year - no snow yet! - but, it seemed a fitting follow-up to the first pic I posted.

I'm making a few of these for a friend. They are about 6" long and have some pipe cleaners on the inside to help them keep shape if you give them a little bend!

Is it just an image-size thing? I try to proofread and format, including images. Up until the preview of my most recent post, I had never seen an image in the preview.
Is this a me-thing? An image size thing? Something different that I hadn't thought of? I like it, whatever the reason.
This one works: 
This one doesn't: 
Thanks for any insight!
