Heat and crossing hosta
I'm curious how this heat has affected the people who hybridize hostas? I have a total of 3 seed pods on Climax that have taken and that is it and those were crossed in July when we were actually getting rain. Nothing is taking and it has to be the heat ...105 degrees is just rediculous in Colorado....I'm gonna have to dig up hostas and take them inside just to get a few to take
low
very low percentage of what I have done

Galaxy is aborting her pods right & left! I knew I should have dug her in the spring, if I dig her now she'll surely loose them all.
My main breeeders are in pots and in the house right now. Heat index for today is to reach 115, we've had 20-some days straight with temps of 90 or higher and all I seem to get done is watering.
