Hello @Barb in Pa so much of giving us the pleasure of viewing your garden

It's a wonderful view besides the locations to walk and your plants are stunning also...hosta plants i'm beginning to really like as redstar a member as such a great collection of and seeing the many forms of colours they come in they're an out standing plant.

If you look at the last video @redstar star posted you'll see them in their full maturity.

I know @redstar from another forum.. She doesn't live far from me....I probably have 30 different hostas. Will post my mini next.

 

thanks @Gail_68 Looking forward to seeing your hosta's @Barb in Pa . Where about in PA do you live? Barb. I live in Parkesburg, PA.

 

I am about 2 hours north of you...@redstar in Stroudsburg. WE have talked before on another forum.













These pictures are a few years old now. They are growing allot bigger now. I happen to love hosta and keep adding every year...

 

That's nice when you know one another ….plus the same area and 30 different hostas

Hello mate...you want to add your video link into your signature part but name your video's mainly on hostas @redstar as their grow rate is out standing

 

Barb, these two took my eye straight away...I feel the garden centre pulling me
My main question is if they get to big can they be trimmed back plus we have a lot of slugs and snails here...do they attract them

 

You can cut the roots back to keep them small. That's why I have a"for sale" area in the back of y property. I cut them to keep things small, then either plant them somewhere else or pot them up for sale.

Slugs and snails do love hosta but there are some that are resistant. Also you may find an area in your garden that gets the most sun. Snails and slugs seem to stay away from sunny areas.

The property, I once lived at, was shaded and had slugs. I planted my hosta in a spot where there was sun all day and they never got eaten.

 

Watching gardeners world here in the uk last night and someone was using a home made garlic spray on there hosta's for slug and snail protection, you have a nice spot there Barb .

 

Thank you @martin-f . We love it here. It's our little paradise.



Another shot of it on garden tour day.

 

Nice pixs @Barb in Pa . do recall some conversations now. Hey, I have hardy geraniums to give if your in the area any.

 

Hi Barb our garden is gravelled and one trap front and back till it goes in at night...i'm going to the garden centre next week as i'm removing 5 plants and I want to replace them...here's the area they would go in front of the decking but I would only want two so I could buy another 3 different plants

​

 

Does it look like this?


@Gail_68 Very nice area that you have for a garden...
