Do hostas make seeds? Can Hosta be grown from seeds?
I have let the bloom stalks be--thinking there may be seeds in those pods. Yes? No?
I only have one big, variegated-leaf Hosta. The leaves are bid too....It is growing in a lg, square pot against
the front of my shed. Seems to be getting a bit pot-bound.....Ugh! Dividing Hostas is a chore!

I cut a lot of the sprawling branches off my Endless Summer Hydrangea and put about 14 of them to root in pots.
I had pretty good luck in the last couple of years.

I also potted up about 10 4" pots of David's Cpanula Elizabeth. I know they will have plenty to bring--so,
if anyone wants more--i will have some.....
Learned one thing in doing this! This Campanula multiplies bu spreading from the roots--NOT from seed.
AHA! Something I did not know--but then this is my first go with this plant also.

Was going to actually make a list of what i have--but I was sooooo tired and grubby after hours of working outside.
Will do that soon. As usual--I may have more than I think I have...NO surprise!

Sally---You gonna do a food Thread soon????

Can I sign up early to bring MMM-Meatballs? Have some made in my freezer already. Yeah! A small space freed up!
And--my pickles too--if you like. From my home grown cukes yet!

This is my Big-leaved Hosta. Only one I have.....besides the August Lily Hosta.
Do not have enough of that one to share--as I did all that last fall. Mine are now starting all over...
