Re: Anyone remember Freakycola?
I used to come here all the time then 6 years ago my husband died and I lost all interest in my garden. This year I'm getting interested in it again so thought I'd check and see who's here that I know.

Re: Hallson Hosta Gathering
Darn darn darn darn darn I missed it again! Someone crashed into my car in March and totaled it, so I didn't think I'd have a ride up there . I've been using an old clunker but I just got a new car in July so I could have made it. Darn darn darn darn darn! What I need to do is start following the fo...

Re: Japanese beetles on hostas?
I have never seen them on a hosta. I use Bayer Rose & Flower Care. Its pellets you sprinkle on the ground & the plants suck it up through their systems. It must taste terrible because the bugs don't bother the plants anymore. I used it one year and forgot about it for like 2 years and the beetles st...

Re: Annual Get Together - this Saturday, August 3rd
Oh I am so bummed! I got a new car last year that would make the drive & I planned to come this year & just spaced out finding out about it. I'll have to check in earlier next year! I need to start checking in every day like I used to. I don't know what's wrong with me!

Re: Let's take a virtual tour of our gardens
Hi Linda. I probably did send you the Summer Fragrance. Recently I found my trade notebook and was going to sit down and look at it for the memories, got busy and now I can't find it. Ah, the story of my life. :blush: Why did Kent stop doing hostas? When I quit following the forum I knew he had Clov...

Re: Let's take a virtual tour of our gardens
Thanks Rosemarie for your kind words and sorry for your loss. I'm hoping I'll want to go out in the garden this spring but I didn't last summer so who knows? I have trouble sleeping so I'm up until about 8am most nights. I just can't stop thinking about you saying you've been out in the trees. All I...

Re: Let's take a virtual tour of our gardens
Pia you are right it was Leafmold. But it was me and I think Kent Terpinger (the one who made Clovely (which I'm still searching for!) Who were dressing in vole suits to raid others gardens. No, maybe it was me & Renaldo who were raiding Kent's garden coz he had just shown us Clovelly. Yeah I think ...

Re: Let's take a virtual tour of our gardens
Yes Bonemeal sounds like the dog's name, but it wasn't Helen. She was in on it always talking about Grasshopper like from Kung Fu & the meaning of hosta afterlife or something like that. I kno this was a man who took excellent photographs & hybridized hostas & got amazing results.

Re: Not a hosta, but what the heck is it?
I don't know how to lead you to a link. I just searched canna leaves on Google and found a picture that looks very similar. I couldn't get the tiger one to come up on my screen.

Re: impatiens and hostas
Thanks Tigger. That article was really interesting. I had impatiens in pots last year but nothing in the ground and they didn't die so I should be okay. It will be interesting to see if walmart sells them this year. I'm hoping for a better year at work. They had people from the company that provides...

Re: Got some new hostas at Menards
Hi Tigger Nice to hear from you again! The streaked one is definitely not a blue flame. It has a small leaves about the size of golden tiara I don't know what it is but I'm just a sucker for anything streaked. I put my new hostas on the basement landing, forgot they were there and let my cats into t...

Got some new hostas at Menards
Okay even though I promised myself I would not buy anymore hostas until I get all the ones from the last hmmmmmm 5? years planted, I just had to buy four I saw at Menards. It's still cold here and we just got a big snowfall but you know, when you see the first Hosta of the season you just can't help...

impatiens and hostas
Someone once told me you should not plant impatiens around hostas. I used to all the time and never had a problem. They said there was a disease the impatiens would give to the hostas. Does anyone have any knowledge of this?

Re: Let's take a virtual tour of our gardens
That sounds like the name but I thought I remember him talking about his wife & he never mentioned owning a nursery. Chris are you out there? Do you remember any of this?
