HAVE: 3 Types Named Asiatic Lilies for Mini iris, Mini Hosta
Comments (3)I have Small Hosta plant, two different shades of green mixed. The flower on it is a light purple. I have Iris's but they are regular size. Also you can take a look at my trade list for anything else you might be interested in. Thanks Paula / gpborger / gpborger@consolidated.net Here is a link that might be useful: My Trade page...See MoreHAVE: Named & unnamed Hostas, Bearded Irises, &Perennials
Comments (6)I have some beautiful peonys. 2 varieties, pink and a magenta pink. I would love some of your Iris, Sultans Palace (deep red) white with purple trim, deep blackish purples, white top with purple beards....See MoreNormally not big on hostas, but need some advice (2 pics)
Comments (20)You did say 18 FEET, not 18 INCHES? That plan, then is shot, now I don't know what to do. I've only been feeding there since last fall, and I do like to feed all year, but maintaining 2 bird feeding stations gets expensive, especially when I buy unsalted dry-roasted peanuts for the squirrels and English walnuts (and other nuts if I can afford them for a treat). I hammer the Brazil nuts so they won't ruin their teeth :-). The nuts got to be too expensive, so I just threw one a day out there, lucky the squirrel that got there first. Squirrels will eat corn, but they just take the inner kernel and leave the rest, and I'm here to tell you they like nuts and sunflower seeds better, especially the striped ones over the oil ones. I've hardly any place to grow anything RIGHT. In desperation, I was going to plant some tomatoes along my brick porch and protruding stoops facing west (maybe not a good idea) and I have been feeding birds on that stoop for YEARS. There are sunflower hulls all OVER the ground in that spot. It doesn't seem to faze a forsythia I planted last spring just a few feet back. Morning glory volunteers sprang up there last year and went nuts climbing all over my new porch rail and a bunch of other stuff. I'm going to have to think about this. I could move where I feed them someplace where I never will plant flowers. Hmmm. Just had my yard mapped with a bunch of spray paint and flags. I could feed right over the phone box, why it's buried there is a mystery (but I probably shouldn't sink a post there). Then I could scoop out all that bad dirt and fill with topsoil, another gruelling task I'm just not up to with everything else I have going. I am having rotten luck with a lot of things lately. But thanks for tipping me off. I can quit the sunflower seeds in back, I buy extra striped ones for in front for the squirrels and chipmunks, and maybe find bags of just safflower seeds for the cardinals and get a regular mix with no sunflower seeds in it. Maybe that is the answer to the back bird feeder. That is right outside the back door in the lawn. The Patriot hostas are out behind the garage becaue I didn't have a place for them either, didn't want to look at them. Now I have them mulched. Since it's pretty weed-free behind the garage now, and part shade, I was thinking of black raspberries, partial shade mix or Knockout roses or something. I just can't seem to get it together. I'm usually on the old garden rose forum, and you should see what a mess I've made with my latest planting scheme :-(. But I keep planting more stuff as fast as I can. Sorry it's so long, I read the article, and it's kind of a shock, but better before I bought a bunch more expensive plants for some of those places. Here is the area I am talking about, I must say you have been so patient with me, I feel like a complete ditz, and it's not as if I've never grown things before, just not hostas and heirloom roses and some of the new things I'm trying to grow:...See MoreSuggestions for smaller type hostas
Comments (19)'Blue Mouse Ears' may be too tiny and too slow for you. Sorry to hear, Lisa, that your BME is a slow grower. It's been a fast grower for me, but then again, mine are exposed to a fair bit of sun. Anything that goes from three to six eyes in a year is a good grower in my books. My suggestion for something brighter coloured is 'Platinum Tiara', it's vigorous and sure brightens up a dull spot. Another bright one would be Fire Island.......See Moreundertheoaksgardener7b
