I am a hosta fan but though I have a variety I dont have as many as you Hostafan1. I love the varigated ones - they are like a splash of sunshine and I also have a Sum and Substance. Such a bold statement.
Would love a few tips. I dont use slug pellets as was told they can attract the slugs and snails so I just keep watching and picking off, putting them in a jar and disposing of them in the hedge down the lane when walking the dog. Some little holes occur so what can these be from. All mine (12 of them) are in pots so how often do I need to repot and divide them? Be grateful for any tips.
How do I find this thread again. I have to go through loads of items before I find my query - and hopefully the answers !!
Susiejenny - if you click on your own name you will go back to your page where you can click on your posts and that will bring up everything you have been involved in.
I'm not too tech savvy - someone may be able to explain better. Love hostas
Looking forward to your photos Hostafan1 ... it's 2pm now so presumably with all the hostas you have, it will have taken you all morning to take the photos
Hi Susiejenny. Look at the top right hand corner off your screen and you will your username. Click on the drop down and you'll get an option to view your posts. I find that's the quickest way to get to the posts you've commented on.
Verdun - thanks for the tip about after the hostas flowering. I think I may have become a little more slack at the end of the season.
Sorry CharlieD - I meant to say that I am very pleased for you. So exciting when you get something actually growing that you have only had in your mind. I've got lots in my mind but they're not growing yet! Hosta envy
Hey, no problem Lesley. I see our posts crossed for Susiejenny. At least we pointed her in the same direction!!!
Oh I know you mean. I asked for advice on this forum and looked at all the hostas that users are growing and I got really impatient to get mine. But planning is really exciting too isn't it? Nothing goes wrong when in it's our head
Many many thanks fellow gardners. So helpful. Better than struggling along on my own and making mistakes.
Good news about the 'clicking' to find my posts quickly - though as I sorted through the others I did come across some other helpful hints. Thanks again.
Very interesting Verdun, i didn't know you could divide Hosta's basically any time of the year, just last week my OH wanted a couple of Hosta's moved as they have grown to big and are hiding some features (tree stumps) i told her to wait till they have died back and i will move them, she will be pleased, IMHO the flower spikes on Hosta's are not that impressive anyway, sure she can live without them for a season...

Charley D , I posted some pics yesterday. Hostas, some of my faves. I'm sure someone more clever than I could post a link.
