My Haul in Apple Valley, MN
Comments (21)Hey Paul,you're right! Roller Coaster Ride does start out plain,well almost plain green,then gets its variegation. I forgot you all are in the frozen tundra,where plants are a month,to a month behind us. Mine was only planted last year,and it even has part of a reversion to Ray of Hope,right in the middle of the plant. I am not even going to try to remove it,as the plant grows so dense. This guy is very vigorous in its growth,and mine is already 2 feet across;all this from a one gallon pot last year! Here is a pic of mine from this year. This is before the variegation sets in.I just forgot! Phil...See Morehosta AA
Comments (15)Wahhhhhh!!!! I want a camera. Susan, these are fabulous. I'm one who began with hosta. I strayed into other obsessions (see Do You Collect Other Things on the 2nd or 3rd page of this board), which I enjoyed. However, there was an emptiness in my heard and gardens, where foliage did not abound. However, through help, medication, and some good sense, I've returned to one of my first, very true loves: The Fabulous Hosta. Last night I won a 'Black Hills.' I hooted and howled. My husband asked blankly, "Didn't you say you have hosta coming out of your ears?" After much sobering thought, I replied, "Yes, I did. However, there is always room in my nose. Oh, and beside the Albo marginata, and between the Hellebore and 'Carmel' Heuchera over there...." He shook his head and said, "Knock Your Bad Self OUT!" I am grateful to for my enabling husband who truly doesn't give a tinker's d@mn. Hosta cost less than Japanese Maples or other shrubs and trees. (Or so he thinks. Shhhhh!) So know, dear, you are not alone. Never, ever again will you wander the earth clutching pots of hosta that only you and a few select others understand. Never again will you have to explain that yes, you already have "a" hosta, but you don't have that hosta. Only to receive blank, confused, sideways looks as you expound on your gorgeous 'Silk Kimono' vs. Kabitan, for example. Never again. And don't stray. It causes a huge surge in hosta purchasing as you try to make up for all the wasted time when you could have been acquiring and trading HOSTA! I'm glad to have come ... home. But I've GOT to get a CAMERA! Christine...See MoreSenior citizen discount
Comments (13)Yeah, Lindakathy's link sounds like it might be more realistic. But both say the Salvation Army's discount is "up to 50%." I'm there a lot, and never heard of anyone getting a senior discount. I'll bet when I ask, the employees will stare blankly at me. LOL I'll ask at Wendy's and Burger King, too. I'm not there often, but every little bit helps. I'll check out Big Lots, although I suspect it's not actually 30%. And of course I'll look for an excuse to stay at the Waldorf so I can get that $5,000 off the Presidential Suite. ;-) Thanks for bringing this to our attention!...See MoreAt Hosta Choice Gardens, where time stood still...for three hours
Comments (35)-Vanessa, thank you. I would also love to hear what you brought home with you! Did Glenn's enthusiasm for The Minnesota Mafia get you too? Lol. BTW...Did you see the kittens? OMG, I wanted to take the little blonde ones home! When you post your newbies, add Cabbage Patch too? I've been meaning to ask you how it's doing? Mine seemed "tame" last year. Yours? -BC, I said Hi to Glenn for you and he had a big grin on his face when he realized who it was I was referring to. Such a friendly and likeable fellow. :). I asked how he fertilizes and it's all granular, time release little green bb's! -Jerry, yes, ecstatic is a good description...about everything! I'm not sure how many he actually dug up for me (I was all over and everywhere) but it is standard practice for them to be potted up in new pots, and filled with a freshly mixed, lovely fluffy mixture that resembles my own! Mini Skirt was dug right up from a growing bed! I was very lucky to get it that day. Lets talk budget then, lol! I took a set amount in cash (more than I needed) and when my order was rung through, which included 4 more hostas than my list, I still had $ left over. i laughingly said, "I can't go home with this money, I brought it to buy hostas so... I need to get more hostas!" Two more hostas, a bit of fertilizer and I was efficiently shopped out, Lol - my job was done! So....Attach a box like Paula and her husband had, got on that bike, and head on over to Glenn's! There are many gorgeous hostas waiting for you! -NHL, thank you for that and yes, I'll be posting progress pics for sure. Golden Gate will get brighter, Beet Salad beefier, Jujen will finish unfurling as will its Mama .. and the list goes on... -Dave, Mickfields is enormous! Almost too large an assembly? it gives a totally different vibe, doesn't it? We have one or two that are huge, full nurseries (trees/shrubs/vines/perennials of all sorts) but have gone overboard, IMO on all kinds of extraneous non-gardening doo-dads, including clothing! and don't specialize in hostas but at least offer a broad enough selection. I prefer the home-based or family-run businesses/nurseries for the personal approach and display gardens. We need more like them. The hosta business has been booming for many years in North America. I don't think it will ever "go out of style". Regardless of what some say, the hosta business is a cash cow...but you have to love hostas a lot not to mind all the countless hours of work....See MoreRelated Professionals
