Nice going. I think editing a garden can be difficult. Its hard to let them go. I put my extras at the end of the driveway and by the end of the day they are gone. I pot them up as large sizes , multiple eyes - people like instant gardens. I also left a few at the MN society plant sale. I checked at the end and they all sold. I hope they went to good homes.

Hi Melissa! I sell divisions of mine during the summer on Craigslist and the online garage sale sites. I use the money for new additions (of course). This summer is the 3rd year that I have been doing it.

I'm definitely not selling, but several folks who know of my hosta, they ask if I'm selling. It feels strange to be asked that. Although I have two neighbors, elderly ladies, who pot up and sell their day lilies and the largesse of a gardening life. I've purchased from them, but each HAD only ONE hosta (the green fragrant one) until I gave them each Paradise Island this Mother's Day. I know the plants have good homes.

When they got the look in the eye which said, "let's divide" I knew a special purchase for them was the way to go.

Good to hear that you are able to relieve your crowding by reducing the duplicates. I have several duplicates of things I love, but right now they serve as my disaster backup plan. I began this when I lost my Fried Bananas, Guacamole, and Fried Green Tomatos. Now I'm thinking I over reacted to cold damage, thinking it was a virus. Later I got the HVX test strips. And this spring with several hosta showing cold damage, I had an OH NO moment.....yes, I did not need to do my beauties in like that. What a shame. So now I have my duplicates, even a second Squash Casserole. Who knows, my garden may get bigger.....somehow. :)

My FGT is taking over ⦠divided my SC last year and it shrunk big time ⦠it was so nice

Its funny this thread popped up because Trudy is going to have a Garden viewing with some plants for sale the 27-28th of this month. I have been to her place a couple times, and her booth at the Farmers market when she used to sell there.

id love to buy local hostsas..never found any...if any u guys do any sales where u ship any let me know

SteelTownInWV: We are not allowed to post sales offers here. It's against GW terms of use.

Well that stinks. Because I'm sure there are some nice hostas to be had

I don't know what you got for them, but I'm not surprised they sold quickly since they were nice mature plants. I look on Craigslist occasionally, and people generally sell small divisions of plain hostas...and most seem way overpriced to me.

Cash + space = fun! Congratulations!!

Well that stinks. Because I'm sure there are some nice hostas to be had

Good idea! I just sent a "free plants" e-mail to the local garden club and had only two answers. Of course, I'm giving away stuff that grows like mad - wild ginger, variegated Solomon's Seal, Stella day lilies, iris and very common hostas.

Craig's list might be the way to get rid of the duplicate "good" hostas.
