- I have picked up two new hosta plants to add to my collection. I am also going to be moving a hosta in my yard to a better location. I will show you how hosts I planted as bare roots are doing three years later. I grow flowers and vegetables in Saskatchewan, Canada. My cold hardiness zone is zone 4. I have an average of 110 frost free growing days each year. The past few years have seen our temperatures go as low as -37C (-34.6F) to as high as 37C (98.6F). Come see what and how I grow in these conditions.

Howdy Prairie Plantgirl and cute Buster!👋
You have a sweet collection of hosta. They are such interesting plants.😃
Thanks for all the knowledge on hostas.💕
Thank you!
❤ i gotta do some dugging too lol😅
Buster just needs that extra bit of attention,; he adores you. I was gifted a daylily a number of years ago from a neighbor it seems that a hosta came along for the ride. It has taken a number of years to recognize it though as daylilies can take over a plot quite quickly. Oh and the poppies! I have them everywhere all in a range of sizes but unfortunately they are all red. They just showed up in some topsoil one year; I reuse my potting media all of the time so they have even gotten into my containers. A couple of them are HUGE, it must be the year for poppies. I prefer the poppy to Bluebells, they are getting everywhere in the yard.
In the coming days I need to take a machete to my Iris. They are taking over a couple of planters again. Sadly nobody likes them or they are looking for some new colour. Oh well, into the compost pile; they are tough to compost (the rhizomes) they need to be completely dried up. If not the following year there is a yard full of tiny iris plants.
I am thinking of turning my rhubarb into parasols, they have grown to epic proportions as well.
That little hosta really had a will to live if it competes with a daylily. It sounds like you have a lovely space full of beautiful flowers finding their own space to thrive! My rhubarb has been extremely productive this year as well.
I love these. I completely cut them back every winter and they always pop right back bigger and prettier right through the mulch. So easy
They really are easy care. I don’t always get to cutting them back before the snow comes, but they still grow through.
Just planted some Kohl rabi in my shade garden...hopefully they grow for a combo of foliage and food.
It’s great to take advantage of the ornamental qualities of food crops too!
I'd 85 hostas that I'd tags for I D but after moving into almost no shade and needs to give my work efforts into remodeling 2 homes in 5 years I'm in the second house and only have several left one is among.my favorite the Guardian Angel and now I've have a red bud tree that should give great partly shade and I'll give compost for feeding.
It's said they love water but not wet feet so drainage is important.
Thanks
That must have been amazing to walk through a garden with 85 hostas! Good for you keeping them IDd as well. A new space is always fun to try new things in but it would be hard to leave behind that collection.
You have the same callendula that I have. I threw a few seeds in a spot that slugs like to lurk and bingo, one came up. I've done it again this year, maybe the magic will work a second time. On second thoughts, maybe it's not callendula, the leaves don't look the same.
There were calendulas in the grey pots in front of the deck.
27:40 look like First Frost
Thanks!
Looks like Hosta virus X on those hostas you’re not sure of.
Hmmm, I looked into that and you may be right. I guess I will have to pull them out to be on the safe side. Thank you.
