Didn’t know this list existed and don’t know how to be added to the ping list, but please count me in. Not much gardening in MA this weekend as we’ve had several inches of rain and I can see the weeds growing. Any Hosta fans out there?

Not much gardening in MA”

I just sold my house in RI last week and had to give up my beautiful gardens that I had worked on for 30 years. I moved to the lower south west corner of Illinois. Anyone know which plants do well here. It has been raining almost every day so I can’t get started yet but I do know that the soil is very clay like. Will probably opt for planting in pots this year.

I’ve got some hostas that are older than I am. I dug them up when my great grandmother passed away back in 96.

Ever have any luck starting hostas from seed? I’ve managed it a couple of times but I’m mostly hit or miss.

i have huge hostas all around my porch which goes around 3 sides of my house and they are georgous. they bloom in aug. and the scent is a heavenly lily-ish perfume that makes the porch a perfect perch.
