A question for those who have been growing hosta from seedÂ

Have you seen a correlation between germination time and early seedling growth rate and the growth rate of the adult hosta.

a vigorous momma and poppa will generate a vigorous babe ... regarding growth rate ... just like humans ...

germination time is a function of heat.. light [???'able on some seeds, like hosta] ... soil ... water ... etc ... not unlike human fertilization/germination ...

in other words...i think germination is 'cultural' ... not hereditary ...

fresh seed germinates better than aged seed ... plus or minus proper storage ...

my 2 cents

Thanks Ken

I can't wait for the seeds to start sprouting (thank you hh for the seeds) it gives me another reason to create another spread sheet (being the nerd I am).

Most type IIIs generally have one major bloom cycle. They might throw off more blooms sproadically over the rest of the season but the only way I have found to get another larger flush of blooms is to cut them back by half, keep them well watered and fertilized, and then some type IIIs will put forth a second reasonably large flush of blooms.

I think they look nice with a contrasting lily that is the same color as the throat of the main lily nearby...but otherwise I do as Nanny56 says, Just plant em! you can always move them If you don't like them. Personally I like a big group of the same lily but I don't actually do that because I feel the need to cram as many in as possible.

Thank you, jennifw. I think you are right. Just one point of clarification: as I understand it, there is re-sanding vs. re-buffing -- re-buffing being just dealing with the layers of finish vs. going all the way down to the wood with sanding. My sense (and hope) is that re-buffing and re-coating (as opposed to going all the way to re-sanding and re-coating) could do the trick. Would that be your thought as well? Thank you! I've also posted this in a couple other spots (can't remember which even at this point) and have gotten some good feedback there too. Thanks again!

I have not used the new cabinets but have looked them up since I do a lot of Ikea kitchens but am now pretty much retired . I love some of the new storage ideas bit I really miss the pantry cabinets with the frosted glass doors most of all. IMO you have already compared some to Ikea and found them not as good so what god to all the hassle get the Ikea ones at least their warranty is decent too. I really do nor understand the picture you posted as to where that cabinet is in your kitchen so maybe post a pic from further back . They still make the horizontal cabinets .
