    Bookertoo - 65-70??  Wow !!  Are they all different ones?

    I am quite proud of my collection of 4 !

  • Hi Dizzy Lizzy,

    I'm in north glos and I've got one Solomans seal showing 1" growth and on 2 or 3 tiny green shoots of one of 6 hostas.  My colleagues say they haven't seen theirs yet either - My fingers are still crossed that they are still dormant and not deadimage we wait and see me thinks

     

  • Lose any? they are just spiritied away in the night by the plant fairy in the midst of a cold and damp winter.  Hopefully they've missed ours out of their collectionimage and left them with us.  Bookertoo - 65-70 that's nearly a national collection isn't it - any favourites?

    I'm in SW France where it should be warmer, but we had an awful winter. My hostas are only just starting to show.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
  • Here in the Midlands, I have still got my hostas in the greenhouse, one is coming up the other is not, I thought I had lost both mine so keep hanging in there and with luck from what others have said they will appear.

     

  • Thanks will get them moved out this weekend as it is so nice.  Grateful for the info.

  • Mine spend their time in pots in a cool part of the garden summer and winter.  My sum and substance - nothing showing as yet!  I did loose my old Big Daddy a couple of years ago but it was in one of our vile winters P
