Re: Recent pics from my garden (pic heavy)

Absolutely stunning gardens ! I love every inch of all your plantings ! Could you please explain the cinder block walls you made in another post. I love yours better than the professional stacked walls & hard scapeing . You did a great job. Thank-you for sharing your pictures & ideas with us.

Re: Propagating/dividing Patent Plants?

I have to say if I spent many years of my blood sweat & tears to create the perfect hosta , why should TC labs profit more than they already do? But there is a big difference big biz & ye olde home gardener, one plant can need division & replanting around your garden, just do not sell for profit . B...

Re: Hosta Bulletproof?

Now My TOC has an all blue sport & its much-much darker than any Halcyon I have ever seen. I think I will do the surgery & place the same size Halcyon next to it so I can compare the color & leaf thickness as time goes on.

Re: Your favorite type of plants or characteristics?

Mine still all look pretty good here in NJ, except Pineapple UPSD Cake looks ratty for some reason. I find myself really giving the wavy blues an extra long look, as I do my morning garden walk. Ones like Neptune & Winfield Blue really held there color great this year & I love the shape. Q. Josephin...

Re: What turned out to be your best newer hostas this year?

Hi Marge , I am so glad you like the plants ! Sorry to hear of your son & grandchildren leaving the state. Our oldest son is married one state over, no grandkids for us yet, but I can just imagine how much you will miss them! But w/ all the computer technology these days you can hear from them often...
