Re: my list/your list

Thanks for counting those for me. Now I don't have to! :D At one point I had around 365 hostas, but we had a pending move to a new residence on the schedule and since it was my MIL's place we were moving to, she let us start the moving process three years in advance. So we moved nearly my entire gar...

Re: Did everyone cover what they needed to for some frost?

I am afraid to go out and look today. We got down to 27 last night. There was a lot of frost on our field. I've already got some frost damage, so I guess it doesn't matter much, but up until now, the hostas that were under the trees and next to the house were ok. Hope they still are. :(

Re: Did everyone cover what they needed to for some frost?

I have some frost damage. What I have done in the past, is to wait a little bit and give them a chance to unfurl. Sometimes the damage isn't as bad as it looks. Then I just trim off what is necessary.
Mine have gotten it worse this year though. Some look completely annihilated.

Re: So who's expecting snow tonight?

We are supposed to be above freezing tonight, here in central WI....finally.
Several days of frost in a row has been tough on some of my hostas. :(

Re: Your favorite shade companion plant with hosta?

I have several astilbes and I think the fern-like leaves really compliment the hostas. I have had good luck with them. I just make sure to keep them watered sufficiently. They have been easier to care for than I expected. The blooms are beautiful, and some really stay in bloom for a long time. I fou...

Re: Hose reel to water hosta plants

I'd be interested in the irrigation system you installed too, Chris. I'm seriously thinking about it.
I think I have the swearing part mastered, but I could use the pointers for the rest of the project. :D

Re: What kind of Hostas are these?

I would guess Halcyon and Royal Standard as well.
