Found some time to post a few pics!
Comments (13)Thanks all for the compliments. The Undivided Heart Seedlings are amazing. I still have 3 more from this cross that haven't even sent up a scape. Not sure if they are going to be lates or if I will just have to wait another year. Rita - It is good to be back. I so missed everyone and seeing their daylilies and garden shots. Mantis - the Golden Throne seedling is a first year 3-way branching with 9 buds. The first bloom got caught up with that edge but each one since then has greeted me wide open every morning by 7 am. (and it held up thru the 5 min down pours we have been having.) Vickie - Usually a white piece of paper (even if I have to have it in the shot) gets me the correct color. But, not that seedling. I sure wish I could capture the color it is amazing....See MoreHAVE: helleborus foetidus seedlings for hosta seedlings
Comments (1)I don't know if you'll be interested in this, but I'm trading off all my generic (read: lost the labels) hosta. I have some nice variegated ones (green/white) and several medium, upright, avocado colored variations. I'd be very interetsed in the hellebore seedlings, because hosta and hellebore are the only things that seem to survive under aggressive maples with roots that kill everything. I understand if you're not interested, but if you would, please just let me know? Thanks, Christine...See MoreQuestions about hosta weedlings/seedlings(?)
Comments (4)Hi Weekendweeder, and welcome! I love your excitement as a new gardener. Watch out, it can quickly turn into an obsession! Hosta seedlings don't look like the parent plant. You can get lots of variety in the looks of seedlings, even from the same seed pod. (Most are just plain green ones, though). I like finding seedlings in my yard, I usually let a few grow for the season, just to see if they turn into anything interesting. Usually I end up throwing them out, but a few I have potted up & given away (usually blue ones and ruffled ones). Happy gardening!

Comments (9)All, thanks, I like that root waterer/feeder for my trees and roses except the huge one where roots extend all over the back yard. Anyhoo, my trees are partly responsible for sucking water and nutrients from my beds plus hot sun so they dry out fast, so that could be a real help to me. I don't see how you can deliver nutrients with it, better look at that again, yes I do, don't want to have to spend more on theirs, will skip their fertilizer. Another useful gadget to budget for lol. Let's see, need a spreader, grub control, other lawn control (big bags), it does add up so I try to spread out out the costs. Yes, we've had a terrific rain last Mon, it's all dried up now except and even where mulched. Been supposed to rain last 3 nights, I decided phooey, I'm watering, so just got in from that, have a lot to water, did the front last night, I have to water when it's cooler. No rain yet heh. I have used the milk jugs, but they won't be practical at all on that slope, that's why I was happy to see those spikes, if not there can sure use them beaucoup places. I may have to give those particular hostas a boost now and then when they get going, specially in the dog days of Aug & Sep, also the ones I planted last year I do water now and then (easy), seem to appreciate it, but haven't had time to water once the ones behind the garage, have to haul all the water back there, they are still ok, it's a mess there and soil not so good. Another chore demanding covering just a few plants and roundup. Plus right now I'm saving my jugs for winter sowing and takes me awhile to go through a gal of milk. But when I get more than I need or pick the neighbors' trash which I'm not above doing, I could use those in another bed and cut off the tops more so I can fill faster with the hose, I'm constantly filling too many containers & sprinkling cans. I need a longer hose but am making do for now, and would love to get a good hose reel. There is one xtra 50-footer in the basement but lugging hoses is even hard on me at times when I'm tired, fed up the the one in front but so thankful I finally had the faucet fixed there. 5 gal buckets, yes, that would really ooze a lot of water, but I AM sick of looking at the ugly things especially since my yard is starting to shape up and on the corner so visible from the streets and sidewalks. I have a serious drainage problem where I need every 5 gal bucket which I trash picked now until I can afford/get to getting that fixed right. Plus I need a nice composter where I don't have to turn it by hand, never ends. A lot of that awful grass has gone to seed, I've got a lot of it pulled, but don't want it in my compost that I'm doing a crude way for now. But I sure appreciate the ideas, wonder if there's another fertilizer I could get somewhere locally for that hose attachment. Saw some tree spikes at HD but held off on those because it looks to me like it would take awhile to leach down deep......See Morenewhostalady Z6 ON, Canada
