Curly Fries is at Arbys,the last time I checked! Lol! Phil

Hope great things happen with Curly Fries this year. Forgot that it was in the Bob Solberg order placed in 2011 that went dormant on me before I returned south. So last year was its 2nd year here.

I noticed that both of the Curly Fries (got it as a "two fer $20 from the Solbergs) are up and looking somewhat pale of color. A sort of creamy yellow this spring. Is yours that color too, Sandy?

Here's my Curly Fries . . . pic taken two days ago. :)

Mine has come up green. I am assuming it gets more yelllow as it gets warmer. I guess that's why I missed seeing what it was, it isn't yellow!

Tree Rats hate my seasoning.

Just picked this up from a local vendor....It's still quite small, but has quite a few eyes poking up....(Thanks for the inspiration, Phil!) :P

Those mini hostas ...: I step on them, can not see them well even with the new glasses. Since I am over 70 I would also forget about them. After hours doing garden work I would also have trouble bending down to them.
I rather stay with the big potatoes.

Berndny, I find that mine, in containers, will dry out more quickly in small pots. Putting more in a bowl and elevating it can work, if you want something that is smaller.

I'm also about to experiment with some hanging synthetic canvas fence pots, for lack of a better term. I like some of the smalls, can deal with them fairly well, but like you I have trouble stooping. And forgetabout squatting cause the knees don't work either! Bummer, isn't it?

So in long views of my Back40 garden space, you will see metal chairs spotted in several spaces. That's for quick breaks. Usually in a shady spot. :)

Now does this look like a hosta to you? Loll!

Sandy

Wow Sandy, he looks very happy to see Spring. :)

How old is yours ?

I obtained mine last year and it is still teeny weeny, but I have the perfect spot planned for it in the garden. I'm putting it at the corner of a bed where it will be half framed with Japanese Painted ferns and the other half with Primrose.

This is year 3 for this to be in my garden. I need to put a nice rock close by to set it off, it looks a little lost in the bed, it's just a little guy!

Curly Fries appears to be a good grower. Top pic is Aug '11 and bottom Aug '12. Seems like it is always sending up leaves.

My pot of Curly Fries (x2) from Solberg were purchased in 2011. So this year is their second year here. Photo taken 4-16-13 They will fade out to a creamy (potato?) white late in the season if placed in sun.

One looks like it has white edges, the other looks like it has green edges. One at the HL from the originator shows green edges. Is it just the light OR are my old eyes missing something here. Does it readily sport? I had to remove an all green eye from my Rainforest Sunrise and my Cat and Mouse today.

Part of the fun of hostas is that they sport, part of the frustration too when you want a specific look on a plant.

I know what it is - snow - and I know where my Curly Fries is - under ground.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. It makes it just a little easier to wait.

Curly Fries? I have them all over my yard.

I don't know what happened, the photo disappeared from photobucket and it was very difficult to get it back.

Ha ha, thank you Jon!
