Since work put me behind schedule this week, I'LL EXTEND THE SIGN-UPS TILL MONDAY 5/19 AT MIDNIGHT CST. Melati--just got your message and will take you off the list. Hope everything works out.

I highly recommend Romence Gardens in Portage. And yes, they have more hostas available than those that are on their web-site. They up-size their hostas in bigger pots as they grow and are too busy to divide them so you'll pay the same price for the variety no matter how many eyes it has. The other place I would recommend is K Gardens in Byron Center, just southwest of Grand Rapids. They have about 800 varieties of hostas. I have bought many hostas from them that had over 20 eyes. I stop by Romence Gardens in Grand Rapids when I need a hosta fix on a Sunday. They are the only nursery in our area that's open on Sundays. When you visit Chris at Hallsons, let him pick out a hosta for you! He's picked out several for me that I never would have on my own! Chris also has hostas in his nursery that aren't on his web-site. I haven't been to Rob's Lakeside Acres yet, but have an order in that we are going to pick up instead of having him ship to us. I'm looking forward to meeting Rob! If you want to travel all the way north into Michigan, there is Cedar Hedge Gardens in Interlochen. I haven't been there yet, but they have over 800 varieties plus 4 acres of display gardens. Gesila

Ahhh, nice list there! I have Wheee! ordered, and I got Oze a few days ago. Cute little small plant too. My second Lakeside was a small one (I previously had L. Kaleidoscope), L. Small Fry. Do you like the tiny ones? Do you have any pictures? Always good to hear about favorite nurseries even though I'll be nowhere near them.

Happy birthday Ded! We will be at our lake cabin. I've been here all week getting a new deck installed - huge improvement over the original that is 20 years old. Hopefully the weather will cooperate enough that we can do some grillin' and chillin' on the new deck. Seventy percent chance of rain every day so we'll see. It's a beautiful day today so I'll be taking advantage of that to get in a round of golf. It's still kind of spring cleanup time here so doing some of that, planting some flowerpots, painting my front door and staining the floor of the small, covered entry porch. On Memorial Day itself I'll be preparing food for DH's golf event - some college friends will be here Tues-Thurs. Busy weekend - it's the kickoff to summer in MN.
