Nice video! I love hostas too! I have around 90 different varieties so far! I think my top three favourites large ones are: Liberty, Bridal falls and goodness gracious! But i also love diamond lake, sum and substance, france williams ect! Some smaller ones that i love are Wheee!, all the ones in the halcyon family (june, touch of class, first frost, autumn frost, blue ivory, ect). I also love many of the blue ones and with ruffled edges like waterslide, neptune, hope spring is eternal…:). Hostas are so much fun and many of mine comes from my mom who is also a hosta lover, so i agree they hold a lot of memories :). Thanks for sharing!

Nothing like fresh sourdough bread topped with homemade apple butter!

Great video! I also watched a lady talking about trumbetta squash. They look the same. Google let me know that they are. I wonder if there are varieties that are more or less susceptible to squash boring moths?

Where did you get your seeds?

It would have been perfect if you wrote the names on the screen. For us foreigners, it would be easier to follow 😊 Big hello from a Norwegian tomato lover ❤

I grow my rampicante vertically. I DIY’d a garden structure…consisting of EMT pipe verticals and horizontals joined together with MakerPipe connectors…with a section of cattle panel wired across the top. My rampicante grows from the soil upwards via twine and multiple clips until it reaches the top, then it sprawls horizontally on the cattle panel. I have 7 rampicante plants growing in my garden right now, and they take up relatively little soil space in the 6’ x 4’ raised bed.

Growing 2 favourites this year: Cherokee Purple and Sungold. Also growing Cherokee Green, Green Zebra, San Marzano and Roma. Also a mislabelled Giant Rainbow which is actually some kind of cherry. Next year I've got about 20 seed varieties ordered including some dwarf varieties like Rosella Purple, BrandyFred, Uluru Ochre, Dwarf Almandine and Wherokowhai. Other varieties are Oaxacan Jewel, Barry's Crazy Cherry, Opalka, Green Giant, Cosmonaut Volkov, Indian Stripe, Ananas Noire, Thorburn's Terracotta, Feurerwork, Andrew Rahart's Jumbo, Sylvan Guame, Xanadu Green Goddess and Virginia Sweets. Whew! Really looking forward to next year.

I am in CT as well. I found 2 hornworms and think 2 eggs on my ingrown tomatoes. Also, a lot of flea Beatles damage. Something is also chomping all my basil. Any suggestions anyone?

Do you sell seeds online, or have you considered it?

Great video! I'm in Iowa zone 5a. My Sungold an Blueberries and Cream started last week. My first beefsteak variety was ripe yesterday, a Nyagous. I'm looking forward to trying Pineapple and Isis Candy. I have 14 varieties growing. Thanks for the tour!

You are a beautiful soul. New subscriber. What state/zone are you in? I'm Iowa zone 5a.

I LOVE that you and your sister are competitive with each other. What a blessed relationship. ❤

Great video! Thank you!

Highly respect showing a moment in a none perfect management garden as we all have up and down moments in our happy place.

I've invented something...... I built a long handle for the Asia Style Garden Hoe. You have seen the short handle Asia Gardening hoe and many people love them the long handle are the best weeders I've used and doesn't blast them little bits of stems and chunks of foliage making my plants sick with moles. Ask a Blacksmith to build your own.

A lot of people want great tasting tomatoes but don’t have access to in ground space. 😢

Great video!

You are so cute with the hostas! I am new to hosta, but want to expand my collection. Loved your video. WOW on the hosta island!

Purslane makes a fantastic ground cover in my garden. Your garden paths are so pretty! I have curving grass paths too. Just love the look, integrating food into the landscape.

What a stunning collection! Was the truck driver ok?

Sorry, I didn't catch the idea with the wild impatience. How can we use it?

Super! You have got a huge territory so you will be able to add more hostas and more pleasant memories!

How close are your cabbage planted?

My current favorite in my hosta collection is probably Guacamole. I think the hostas I paid the most for were my Empress Wu hostas since they were installed by my landscaper after I begged him to find some for me! Thankfully I have been able to divide them and have many more than the two he planted. I think I want to plan a hosta destination trip that includes Land of the Giants Hosta Farm in Milton WI.

I bought Goodness Gracious last year and am so looking forward to seeing it grow. I also have Dream Weaver which is stunning as is Orion's Belt. Avocado is stunning too. I can't pick one. Lol

There was a hosta that was unnamed. That is so beautiful. Hudson Bay? Dream Weaver/Queen? You pull the leaf out of the way @ 9:41.

"Hey Mr , I believe in the power of collaboration. I'd love to discuss how we can work together to elevate your business to new heights." Can i get your mail or WhatsApp to contact you?

All of them are my favorite. Love your hosta's.

The shiny dark green with ruffled edges can be Candy Dish.

Lovely garden! Liberty is probably my favorite but Goodness Gracious is in the top 10. It's very difficult to choose since there's so many wonderful hostas. Have you visited Mason Hollow in NH? I've bought from them in person at an AHS convention as well as online/by mail. I'm in the midwest so sadly it's too far for me to visit their nursery. Maybe some day. 🙂

I just loved your video on Hosta’s! It surprised me to see you have a Hosta Andrew. I’ve been searching for one of those for a sentimental a reason. My eldest son just recently died of ALS. His name was Andrew. He is definitely at home with the Lord which gives me peace. It has been on my heart to find a Hosta Andrew to plant in my garden to honor my son. Do you have a nursery near you that would have Hosta Andrew? I live in GA and it would need to be shipped to me. Thank you.

I’m right over the border in Southwick, don’t have a favorite Hosta but Goodness Gracious would definitely be on the list of favorites, I like variegated plants very much . Recently I’ve been looking for a Halcyon Hosta , haven’t seen one yet

I am not an expert but I think you will not like the bamboo where it is later on, the hostas don't like tree root competition. Nice collection. Yes comment after the full video 😁

I sooo enjoyed this episode. Thank you for sharing. I have four so far. Gold Standard, Francee, Patriot, and Minuteman. I might have to start adding 🤭Also enjoyed your singing ☺️Thank you. 🙏🏻🌷

Love hosta also. I love your philosophy on gardening! I may have to borrow it. I hate leaving unnecessary space, thinking I will move something when it gets crowded. Often that doesn't happen! Thanks for sharing.

Love your Goodness Gracious! Thanks for sharing your garden. You helped me identify one of my hostas, Blue Cadet. It was labeled Elegans when I purchased it as a tiny plant but as it slowly grew it became obvious that it was not Elegans but I did not know what it was.

My favorite Hosta is Captain Kirk

My favorite is June, partly because I love its colors and partly because that’s my mom’s name. Not sure which I’ve paid the most for. None of mine have been super expensive (no new releases, ultra rare ones, etc.).

Those white centred hostas at the very end of the video, likely undulata mediovariegata.

Did I hear a peacock at 22:37?

I never knew that wild impatiens (aka jewelweed) helped with relieving poison ivy rash! Thanks for that info. Plus, jewelweed is pretty in flower. Bonus.

I paid the most for midnight oil and first blush hostas

Good choice on Goodness Gracious as your favourite. It’s one of mine too. Massive! And what fantastic variegation! ❤

Transplanted lily of the valley?!?!? 😮😮😮 nooooooo!!!!😮😮😮😂

All that wood chip mulch around the hostas is only helping out the slugs!

When you move Cool as a Cucumber give it lots of room. It’s huge! Wish I could post a pic of mine to show you just how big it is!

Yes I fell under First Blush’s spell too (but only $40) and cried when she died 6 months later! At least you still have yours!😬

I’m thinking that the 2 hostas from your grandmother are likely lancifolia on the left and erromena on the right. Very old varieties that were in everyone’s gardens for decades. Google pics to compare.

I love Hosta and I think the deer does too.

Hi, my name is Oksana and I'm hostaholic 😆
