Always fun, but I need to take a season off! see you next year!

I'll post my list later tonight. Happy to be a part of this swap!

In! I feel bad I do not have many of the "up to date" hostas in my garden. I can only send what I have we are money strapped and hope who ever I send to like my choices. I will be happy to get anything, have always enjoyed the hostas I recieved from this swap! Beautiful and heathy. Thanks ZZ! Have a great day everyone...... Ronna

This was so much fun last year and i got such a nice assortment. Just love that I received Quilting Bee, and that it made it through our horrible New York winter. Please count me in. My lovely assortment from last year's swap
Mittsy.

Wow! What a nice variety....I want them all!

Mittsy, that photo had me drooling! I got Quilting Bee in a trade last year, and it was immediately a favorite.

I was reading the thread about giants, and I'm thinking I have about 2 more years before the front garden needs to be completely re-arranged, or it will be one mass of hostas! Not that it would be a bad thing! But that gives me a bit longer to test anti-deer methods. I'm considering planting mints & thyme right under the giants. Since they come up before my hostas, maybe their presence would keep the deer away from the tender shoots. And since they would be in their own little spot under the oaks, I don't really need to worry about the herbs taking over (blacktop on one side & gravel roads & driveways on the other 3).

IN

I'd like to join in the fun. My list is in my journal. http://davesgarden.com/tools/journal/viewbycat.php?catsort=name2&cat=29999

mao

Joycet: This is only my third year as a hosta-addict (I started collecting in 2007). My gardens look better this year than last, and I spent a big part of the spring moving stuff around. There is still so much to move around and just not enough time. Don't be impressed by the list - my gardens are nowhere as beautiful as some of the folks that post on this site. Maybe in time.....

"The Wu" (as my husband calls her) was pitiful for the first two years - one lone leaf. This year, however it has probably tripled in eyes and is finally starting to look like it might be a giant. I have it in too shady a spot I think, but I don't have anywhere else to put it where it will be in back of other hostas. Now that all my spring work is about done, I am thinking about digging a new bed and moving it there....maybe.

Betsy

I'm in. This will be my first official swap to participate in.
For a list of my "have's" - please click on my name and go to my journal. I love them all, so any that I do not have would be fine for me - except mini's. Seems the voles like them the best in my yard.
Bonnie :-)

This message was edited May 25, 2010 5:58 PM

Well, I just love new beds!!! So go for it! I just saw the picture of Empress Wu as a mature plant this year and all I can say is WOWSERS! That thing is a monster! So for you, it really was sleep, creep and leap!!

Oh Please count me in!
I will add my likes later!

Beverly

Count me in. Wasn't going to do this, like others, but this will give me a good excuse to buy another new hosta. I will post my haves later.

Joyce...you don't have to buy anything....just divide from your yard!

Hopefully you are right joycet, but if we get someone's name that has more than we do, we may have to do a "purchase" to get something that they don't have. lol. (just browsing "maozamom's journal) - whose journal looks very similar to mine.lol.

bonnie

I'll be watching this trade happen but won't be involved this year. I just have too much already to do in my gardens and since I can only move at a snail's pace I figured I better just sit this one out.

Not able to participate this year since it's only my first year growing hostas and I don't have any big enough to share (yet!), but hoping I'll be able to participate in next year's swap!

Ready for swapping some hostas! I was going to just leave everything alone this year, BUT can not resist doing at least One trade.
I have lots and love them all but would be partial to receiving yellows or mini/small ones. No room for LARGE ONES! LOL
That should leave this swapper nothing but surprises!
Thanks for hosting once again ZZ, I have sent you a Dmail.
Cheryl

Wow....just wow....

Wowzer! my that is a wonderful list. Post a pic if you have some. I love to see that many wonderful beautiful hostas.

I am sooo ready to get my name of my secret swap person. It is getting really hot here.

We went from 50 to 90 in 2 days, course we are suppose to cool o in the 80's next week.
n2birds, if we mail to a warmer zone is there a better way to send to you all?
In the winter I received plants that were put in insulated wrap to keep warm would that help for cool?

Weeding: WOW. And I thought I was out of control! That list is amazing. How is your revolution doing? Mine is just pitiful. I had high hopes for it this year - but it's still just a tiny pipsqueak. You have so many with names I don't recognize. Which ones are your favorites?

I am with you all about the heat. i wish the cut off for this swap was this week so I could get these things in the mail. We are going to be in the 90's tomorrow. Hopefully it will get cooler again, though.... I plan to just ensure that my paper towels are really moist when i send. I don't think you can do much more than that....Hostas are pretty forgiving.....
