Hosta to share?

6 years ago

I’m from South Dakota and I’m looking for somebody that would be willing to share some hosta’s with me. I’ve looked all over for a place where I could get some but I can’t find anything! Would anybody have to divide theirs, I would be willing to pay postage. Thank you!

You decide. The hosta is one of the faster growing varieties. Its water and nutrient wants/needs are compatible with Acer p. as well. The roots will become entangled quickly, but the acer is very forgiving of hard root prunes if done while dormant, and the hosta won't care about being chopped into quarters, either. ;o) Al

Just a comment,... If you give an extra two spaces before and after copying and pasting the HTML of the photobucket picture then the words you type won't be right next to the pictures. So, to post I will gave two spaces after my last sentence, then copy and paste the HTML code for the picture I will post like this picture of Wide Brim Hosta ..... then, I give two spaces and begin to type again. Then I preview my posting, and when I do so I can proofread my typing and see the picture and words exactly as they will be posted to the forum. Now that you have posted some pictures keep it up. We LOVE pictures!!! Brenda

hostas and windowboxes...what is it for you?
Q
Comments (20)
Not only are the windowboxes pretty on the outside, they're pretty from the inside looking out as well. One thing I should mention about the Windsor boxes...they instruct you to drill drainage holes in the bottom which my DH did without any difficulty. I'm not sure why they couldn't have done that in the factory. He had a carpenter friend help him hang them and made sure they were in the studs due to being so heavy when filled. They didn't seem to have any problems getting them up. The first year I had them, I used one of those soil mixes for containers that touted "moisture crystals" to help hold in the moisture. That was a BIG mistake. We had a prolonged rainy period and the soil would never dry out. After a week-10 days of no rain, I could still take a hand full of the soil and squeeze out water. My plants suffered and I lost some to root rot. At the end of that season, I removed all that soil and replaced it with Garden Magic Top Soil and Sweet Peat mixture which seems to be working out just fine.

Hey Paula, Looks like you did a great trade! Value wise they are both about the same but you got a great sized Kiwi Full Monty. Are you talking about Paul at Handlebar Hostas? If not, I'd be interested to hear of a new-to-me hosta place :) Vanessa
