Hi, I'm Diann and I'm a hopless hosta-holic... I live in Eastern Iowa on approximately 10 acres. Of that I garden on much less.

Hi Diann -- thanks for setting up the Hosta 'Cubits' ... this is all going to take some getting used to... anyhooo

I"m Terese... I have a postage stamp sized lot in the Itasca, IL ... not a lot of room for hostas ... just the north side of my garage. I also live in an RV Park in Lake Delton, Wisc - where i have all shade and no grass... Much more room for plants up there.

Beautiful Terese... Hi Im Patricia.. I have a growing hosta addiction... I can see its going to be so hard to control...I started a shade garden last year spread hosta thru it, I hope this spring it is pretty like yours....I already see the need for it to grow..

Hi, y'all! I'm Bev. I have had hosta for years and am running out of room. I started some areas in the front yard this past year only to have our new neighbors-deer-chomp them to the ground! Lovely pics...good to see some (old, lol!) names/faces here:))

I'm Molly,

Till spring of 2009 I had over 100 different hostas. My life went bellyup so right now I don't know what I have left. A hosta friend rescued a lot of my hostas and hopefully once the weather breaks she'll mail them to me at my new home in Tn.

Hi Molly, there is nothing worse than having your world in an uproar. I hope things settle down for you and you are able to have some of your rescued hostas back.

Hi,

I'm Polly. I live in cold upstate NY, where we get an average of 200 inches of snow a year to blanket my hostas. I have around 100 cultivars and hope to add more.

We live on 63 acres, mostly wooded. So I can stick hostas anywhere for a long ways, and will never run out of room. .

I have an online iris nursery, and a small at home nursery, where I see potted hostas among other things.

This looks to be a grat cubit.!

Good luck Ticker!

Dyann! you do get around! I am Sylvia, hopefully everyone knows me as a Hosta lover and owner of Hosta's at Sissinghurst, Inc fund-raising programs.
How Kewl to be in on the ground up website of Dave's.
Dave got it going on, he dont let any grass grow under his feet!
Trish, how lucky you are to have a man with such skills of today's technology!
Maybe we can have a Cubic called computer terminology?

Sylvia

SYLVIA!!!! Yay!!!

I'm glad you are here!

If you have any ideas that you think will improve this cubit, please do tell me.

If anyone has any ideas on how to improve this cubit, don't be shy!! I'm all ears!!

LOL

I just sent you my suggestion

Hi Diann!

Now that I know what this is....I'm in!

Sylvia....what is the name of that hosta? It is beautiful!

Good job...Ticker!

Poho

just jumping around checking out the cubits - have a few hosta's from sylvia from last year - i have two questions
sylvia it does not get that cold in dallas? why are you bundled up like nanuk of the north?
pollyk where have you been hiding all those hosta? never see many posted:)

wha, I love my hostas privately. I've been so busy taking pictures of my irises for the website, I seldom take any other pictures other than the grandkids.

Hi, my name is Teresa. I live in southcental KY. I collect several types of plants. Mostly daylilies, iris and hosta. I grew up gardening.
Polly,
I totally understand. I take so many shots of my dls that I rarely have a decent pic of hosta to post. I have a collection of 45+ hosta . I am beginning to add mini hosta. now. They are so adorable!

Thanks for starting the hosta forum

I too have been thinking about "minis" 'I have this perfect little spot for them.

I can not wait to get "Frosted Mouse Ears"... it is just so cute.

Terese

I'm going to do a fairy garden for my granddaughter, so mini hostas would be great for that.

Hopefully, maybe, there will be some notice of sales or co-ops for hostas here:)

I want to make a couple of the troughs for my minis this Spring. They can get lost under a big daddy leaf LOL

Teresa, ask Alwaysweeding about the trough she made last spring. LOL It took two men and a small boy to lift it! LOL

Seriously, though, it was a nice trough.

Diann

Make sure you invite all your Hosta-holic friends over here! I know it doesn't look like it now, but soon we'll be out playing in the dirt!! It's only 39 days till Spring!!

Hi there, I am a major hosta collector. My favorites are any that get very large. I also, like ones that have different or unusual coloring...similar to the one on Sylvia's post...no matter the size.

At the moment, all I have are duck/bird pictures...WB Nuthatch upside down on limb...watching me take his picture.
