Re: #1 The Poll To End All Polls (until the next one) - GREE

This is a difficult one as there are so many really nice green hostas!

Dwarf = Tiny Tears, Itsy Bitsy Spider
Small = Lizard Lick, Candy Dish
Medium = Cutting Edge, Devon Green
Large = Komodo Dragon, Niagara Falls
X-Large = Empress Wu, Hercules

Those are today's favourites...

Re: #2 The Poll To End All Polls (until the next one) - BLUE

These are my picks. Don't know if Blueberry Waffles will truly be X-large, but I like it so far!

Dwarf = Gemstone
Small = Baby Blue Eyes, Blue Mouse Ears
Medium = Deep Blue Sea, Awakening Angel
Large = Queen of the Seas, Singing the Blues
X-Large = Blue Angel, Blueberry Waffles

Re: I'll never think the same about a concrete block

We had some concrete blocks left over that were all a little different and my husband didn't want them. So...I took them, edged a garden with them and planted minis in them. That was two years ago and the hostas are doing well. They get a lot of comments from people!

Re: What Hosta would you choose?

'Paul's Glory' is the one that I come back to several times a year. But I have so many favourites that it's very hard for me to even nail down a top 10. :blush: Guess that's why I have over an acre to plant in and have run out of room. :eek: Now I notice that I'm getting a lot more choosey.

Re: Anyone know what is going on at Shady Oaks?

I talked to Julie yesterday and she said that things are going well there with the new owners. Everything that I had back ordered is not coming. :???: I'm wondering if they will even carry them any more as Julie said they have been difficult. :( Apparently the rest of my order is supposed to come.

Re: Anyone growing the "tini" series of Hostas from Q & Z?

I got a couple of them because I felt as you do Chris. I was hesitant to order them all because I feared they were just 'gimmick' plants. I do, however, like Lemontini so far. It has a really nice shade of yellow with a bit of a bloom to it. I'm looking forward to seeing it next year. Appletini hasn...

Re: Hallson Gardens 2011 Get Together in Cement City, MI JUL

Have a great time today everyone. We will miss seeing everyone this year. We don't often miss this event. The powers that be have worked together to keep us here this year though. :( Sending huge hugs to Chris and Brian and all our friends. We will be thinking of you!

Hi Ed. I have no idea who the daddy is. It is truly an OP seedling. I wish I could get my HJ. :( I've dutifully checked the mail every day since Don Dean emailed me that it was in the issue.

Re: Hosta Geek in Nova Scotia

I think she's here more than you know Ann. Maybe not posting, but certainly perusing. :D

We ship our hostas bare root as well. If done right, they travel very well. The shipping would be outrageous if shipped in potting soil.

I agree Josh. Deliverance is looking really good as a young tc. I didn't want to mention it as it is still so young, but I am looking forward to watching this one grow up!

Re: Do you have a favorite newly acquired plant this year?

I have to say that the one that I keep coming back to is Seducer. We've had no burning or melt out here either. Although I really like Ripple Effect as well. The few that I had here sold out long ago. I think that Spinach Souffle and Prestige and Promise look like they may be good plants as well whe...

Lookin good Chris. Of course, I can go out and look at that tray right now if I want to. :D I'm thinking they will probably be ready for 2011. Thanks for letting me purchase them for my Canadian customers Chris. I'm sure they will be thrilled!
