Wow! I had absolutely no idea there are so many varieties of Hostas and I am so impressed with you that you know all the names in your beautiful garden. I LOVE that your channel is growing leaps and bounds ... You deserve it!
Your landscape is beautiful and you really have an eye for arranging your plants. Thanks for the tour. Iâd bet you are the envy of your neighborhood. Great job!!!
Wow! Amazing hostas. I can not believe you remember all the names of those hostas. Thanks for sharing your beautiful gardens. I found that moles dig up the roots or eat the roots of hostas, so if I see that they are not growing or struggling I just dig them up and replant them in the same place. Then they do fine. The same with coral bells they just like to be dug up fluff there roots and replant and they last forever.
I love your bubbly personality. It shows your passion for gardening and your audience that you are a genuine, knowledgeable person. I just love watching your videos. You have given me some great ideas for gardening in a woodland area. I have filled all the flower beds around our house and am now ready to plant at the edge of the woods!!
Girl yes!! Clean out that woods!! Its a natural spot for a shady garden, Be careful of Poison Ivy though if you have it. Also thank you for your kind words I appreciate it
I just found your channel after I watched Makinac Island videos. Your collection of hosta is unbelievable! So glad I found your channel! I will have to start at the beginning. đ
Hi Jes, Beautiful property! As a hosta collector, I can appreciate your amazing collection. If I can recommend one to add to your collection- it would be Dancing Queen. You will love it.
Love all the varieties you have. Your garden is just beautiful. Thank you for the enjoyable and informative tour. Thank Nate for being camera man.(assuming it's Nate, lol)
Yep it was Nate!! He offered to do it for me, I have been wanting to do a hosta tour for people for a while but wasn't sure how and hes like " I can help" Awe!!
My praying hands are about the small as yours in shade. I gave my Daughter some and hers are in a little more sun and they are twice as Big. So I think maybe we should plant them in a little more Sun. I canât believe you can remember all your hostaâs WOW. Good for you that is a lot of Hostas.
Thanks Jes love love love this hosta video they are my favorite shade garden plants. I love your gardens and you are a great gardener with a good eye for placing color and textures. Unfortunately we don't see a great variety of hostas here on Long Island NY I have only 5 varies in my garden but that's all the shade space I have anyway. I wish I had space for an Empress Wu. Thanks again, keep gardening and keep singing love them both.â€ïžâ€ïžđč
So many beautiful hostas & amazing that you know the names of each. I have the stained glass & blazing saddles & thatâs all the shade I have but yours are gorgeous & wow so many. đ
Loved your hosts tour! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I discovered a wonderful hosta called sagae, it is beautiful! It would look so good in your yard too.
Thank you Jes, your hostas are just amazing! So many different kinds...I can't wait to come back to Michigan and plant my own...I love the Eleganz and Stained Glass...and the Christmas Tree...and your rocks, too!.â€đż
Thanks Jes! Love the tour & love the hostas. I think the etched glass is my fav except.. Iâm not sure because there are so many others I love also! Lol đâ„ïž
Jes, I can't believe you can remember the names of your Hostas. Thanks for showing us around, there are so many I'd love to add to my Northeastern Kentucky garden.
You have a beautiful hosta garden, âgardensâ! I loved the tour. I liked how you put pictures in the videos with labels! You are an amazing gardener and movie maker! Great job Jess!đđđđđ
Your garden areas are so pretty!!! You absolutely do have an eye for what will look good together. I used to live in Plymouth, MI and inherited hostas planted in the sun, which did ok. Now I live in southeastern NC on the coast. The sun is WAY too hot to have hostas in all day sun. Besides, we have lots of deer which will eat any type of hosta I plant in a skinny minute. So I am just going to enjoy your shade garden areas.
I have the same holes in my hosta leaves but there are no trees above them. The holes look like the slug damage in leaves pictures online. You have a beautiful collection of so many varieties of hostas.
Jes, Thank you so much for taking us on a tour of your BEAUTIFUL garden⊠impressive that you can recall all the names of the hostaâŁïžIâve really enjoyed your channelâ€
I love your garden and all the hostas. Just want to recommend that you wear some kind of shoe in the garden, even if it's a sandal. My neighbor stepped on a baby copperhead snake the other day, which resulted in 5+ hours in the emergency room only to find out there was nothing they could do about it.
Thank you Jes. Every time you do a video a different hosta catches my eye. I simply love lakeside cupcake, will have to see where I can get one here in Ontario. Your gardens just blow my mind. Hope you have a wonderful weekend đ
What a beautiful variety of hostas. I also love my stained glass and brother Stephen hostas. I know blue angel can get really huge. I have one I planted last year. It will be interesting to see how big it gets. Have a great weekend Jes
I would just plop some in a sunny area and try it out! Depends on how intense your sun is really but its worth a try. I feel like I learn so much from pushing the information on the tag...even though it may say something on the tag I try to test it out in different ways!
At some point, could you show how you divide your hostas? I'm sure it comes second nature to you; but I am new to gardening, and I learn so much from you. (I searched for a video on your channel where you show dividing hostas, but I did not see one.) Thank you.
Yes! Great idea, I just did one of a potted hosta in a movie I posted recently but I can do a more intense one with bigger hosta that I dig up from the ground this fall for sure!
Hi Jes...LOVE your videos...I have a question about hosta...I am trying to grow them under mature trees...the ground is full of tiny roots from these trees and I can't seem to get them to survive...What is your magical secret for getting them to grow under mature trees ..also heuchera (spelling?) to grow there too..Thanks for any advice you can give me..Keep up the wonderful videos...
Well, fist I always try to start with a small plant/root ball...then if I dig and see a root, depending on how big the root is/and how established the tree is i may chop it off with my shovel. Otherwise, I plant around the root. Most of the plants I plant around trees are Hosta which have no problem rooting in for me, they are such hardy plants with a strong root system. And Heuchera! Those have tiny webbed shallow roots so those are easy to squeeze in rooty soil. I do make sure its watered really well and watching it for the fist year to make sure its okay. And move it if needed but since I only really do the Heuchera and Hosta they seem to not be bothered by it. I hope that helps!
@@jesthesinginggardener Hi wanted to thank you for the reply and also to tell you I went to Meijer and got some really nice plants for an amazing price...thanks again...
That is a Summerwine Ninebark from Proven Winners! So pretty. Got those for 80% two years ago in the fall at Lowes! This fall I wanna go behind them in the woods and clean it out so they are more pronounced.
Hi Jes, As usual your video is exceptional as well as your gardens â€ïž How do you walk around bare foot on the mulch and stones? You do it all the time and I am constantly gritting my teeth watching your videos đ„Ž Ouch!!! đ„Č
Do all hostas have to be planted in the shade? I had mine circling my pool and had to remove them because they got burnt up any suggestions as a simulator plant to replace them with? Or plant that can handle pool side sun? âšđ€đž
There are quite a few that can be planted in sun but it also depends on your zone and how intense your sun is. My zone I can get away with it (zone 4/5) The ones ive found sucessful in sun are...Sum and Substance, August Moon, Blue Angle, Halcyon, Royal and Gold Standard, Remember Me, Liberty, So Sweet, Rainforest sunrise.
@@jesthesinginggardener oh man! I never realized there were so many to choose from and that love the sun- I just assumed âwelp, these boys just canât handle a good time pool side!â Oop-ps.Iâm In NWI in zone 5b sorta close to the dunes and lake( Michigan) so now-Iâm gonna spread my horizon and go hosta shopping next spring! Thanks for the great suggestion & inspiration I totally appreciate it! Have a great day Jes âšđ€đđŒđșđž
You know its beyond me really, I dont' have issues with deer and rabbits eating them, Maybe there is too much action around where I live in the summer so they find other places to eat
goodness Judy to be honest I don't know. I have deer galore in the winter but thank the Lord they don't eat my hosta in the summer. I think our neighborhood is just really busy and hopping with kids and dogs and things going on that maybe the deer just find food elsewhere. And thank so much for being here!
Ahhhh the dogs are a big help I think. When our Sonâs pup is at the lake we never had issues. Then he wasnât able to come and the deer moved in. Now I spray for them and at least so far it has worked. Love your channel!
This must be 'Hosta Heaven'. Been looking at sun hosts for my zone 10a garden but not sure I can keep the soil moist enough. The same issue with my raised beds. How big is your yard? It is a arboretum!đȘŽđŠđčđźđ„đ»đŽđ„Źđđđđđż
Dang, I can't believe you remember all those Hosta names. There are so many I can't pick a favorite. Just love your channel your gardens and you.
Wow! I had absolutely no idea there are so many varieties of Hostas and I am so impressed with you that you know all the names in your beautiful garden. I LOVE that your channel is growing leaps and bounds ... You deserve it!
This is just a sliver of the varieties out there, there are thousands!! Its really neat!
Your landscape is beautiful and you really have an eye for arranging your plants. Thanks for the tour. Iâd bet you are the envy of your neighborhood. Great job!!!

Jes, I have a question. What do you do to protect the Hostas from deer and rabbits?
I just found your channel after I watched Makinac Island videos. Your collection of hosta is unbelievable! So glad I found your channel! I will have to start at the beginning. đ
Awe thanks Peggy!
Love the way you put three of each. Clumping.

Those Great Expectations hostas are monsters. They are notoriously difficult to grow. Very lucky to have them grow so well.

A skinny minute thats cute! That would be a fun expression to write into a song, I wrote it down LOL
New subscriber. Your Garden is amazing! I love hosta and live In Wisconsin. Really enjoy your videos!
Thank you so much!
Great video, you know your hostas!!!
This was awesome! Thank for for posting :)
Rain storm like a crazy person hahaha love it!!đ€Ł

I have the same holes in my hosta leaves but there are no trees above them. The holes look like the slug damage in leaves pictures online. You have a beautiful collection of so many varieties of hostas.
So beautiful I love Hostas also.
Thanks for the beautiful tour! Inspiring! â€

I tried. Some I messed up on :) thank you
Your hosta gardens are beautiful! What amazes me is that you can remember all of the names.
I mess up on some, But thanks!
What a great collection!
I love your garden and all the hostas. Just want to recommend that you wear some kind of shoe in the garden, even if it's a sandal. My neighbor stepped on a baby copperhead snake the other day, which resulted in 5+ hours in the emergency room only to find out there was nothing they could do about it.

Beautiful! Good luck on the CDâs.
Very interested â€ïž

Wonderful tour Jes! Iâm really drawn to the bright green leaf hostas. You have a great variety! đȘŽđȘŽđȘŽ
Me too!!
What a beautiful variety of hostas. I also love my stained glass and brother Stephen hostas. I know blue angel can get really huge. I have one I planted last year. It will be interesting to see how big it gets. Have a great weekend Jes
Oh Id love a brother stephen!
Love this video. I have a problem knowing which hostas can tolerate the amount of sun. I donât have any shade but do have some hostas I want to use.
I would just plop some in a sunny area and try it out! Depends on how intense your sun is really but its worth a try. I feel like I learn so much from pushing the information on the tag...even though it may say something on the tag I try to test it out in different ways!
I donât have Hostas in my garden. They look beautiful. I wish I have room for them but my garden is very small đșđžđč
Well from your name it looks like you may have at least Hydrangeas!! I bet those are beautiful :)
I love love your gardens, and your paths, i wonder how you mow those paths with all those little rocks?
with a weed wip

Can you make a video on what plants are around your house because that would give us more ideas how to combine a variety of different plants.
Yes Great Idea!
watching here friend

I ordered and received a guacamole hosta, all the leaves dried up and cut them off, hope that I get new leaves and hope it will survive...
It should! I would leave it in shade and make sure it has lots of water!
When you were looking at the Striptease hosta, what were the purple foliage plants behind the Striptease? It was beautiful!!
That is a Summerwine Ninebark from Proven Winners! So pretty. Got those for 80% two years ago in the fall at Lowes! This fall I wanna go behind them in the woods and clean it out so they are more pronounced.
@@jesthesinginggardener
Thanks for the info!! đž
Thanks, Jes! What is that tree in the landscape bed; the one on the corner?
That is a Dappled Willow. It struggles because the Chipmunks have tunnels all around the roots, but its hanging on LOL
I have been looking for the whirlwind hosta. Any suggestions as where to get one?? I am in mid Michigan. Love your garden!!
come dig some from my yard LOL. I would look at Meijer stores or maybe Countryside greenhouse in Allendale if you are near there.
I wonder how many Hostaâs you have in your garden??? Do you do all this work alone? Just đ€© stunning!
Good Question! Ill have to count. yes I do it all my self but my husband helps with things too like digging giant holes for trees and laying mulch
Thanks for sharing your hosta gardens with us. They are beautiful! What part of Michigan do you live in? I live North east lower peninsula.
West Michigan!
Hi Jes,
As usual your video is exceptional as well as your gardens â€ïž How do you walk around bare foot on the mulch and stones? You do it all the time and I am constantly gritting my teeth watching your videos đ„Ž Ouch!!! đ„Č
I guess ticks arenât a thing there? I would be afraid of stepping in a slug đ
LOL the rocks hurt sometimes to be honest. But the mulch doesn't bother me.

You know its beyond me really, I dont' have issues with deer and rabbits eating them, Maybe there is too much action around where I live in the summer so they find other places to eat

Thatâs a wee white hydrangea!
@@jesthesinginggardener thank you so much, Jes!
What do you feed your host as?
Do you cut back your hostas in the fall?
Sometimes LOL If I have time. I usually do once they all go yellow and brown but last year I didn't get to them all
What attracted you to nate of all people? Jeff
This must be 'Hosta Heaven'. Been looking at sun hosts for my zone 10a garden but not sure I can keep the soil moist enough. The same issue with my raised beds. How big is your yard? It is a arboretum!đȘŽđŠđčđźđ„đ»đŽđ„Źđđđđđż
