This is the video I have been waiting for. Thanks Nate for helping Jes create this fabulous tour. I have over 280 different varieties of Hosta in my gardens and I always love watching other gardeners talk about Hostas. I have been gardening with Hosta's since 1991. Throughout the years my favorites have changed. But my all time favorites are Sum and Substance, June, Empress Wu, Cool as a Cucumber, Guacamole, and Night Before Christmas. I also have 22 Minis..... with Time in a Bottle being my favorite mini. If you are not a member of AHS ( American Hosta Society) you might be interested. The amount of info and data there is a game changer. Your use of other shade tolerant plants really compliment your Hosta collection and is a reminder to me to add more to my gardens. Again thank you both for the tour and inspiration.
Such a wonderful movie, Jes! Thank you to Nate being your excellent cameraman. He did such a great job. Absolutely love your gardens. You are truly gifted with such creativity and knowledge of everything you have in your gardens. It sure is a pleasure watching you and your face reflects the joy you feel when we watch you taking us in your gardens! Take care!
Exactly, thanks Jes and Nate. 🌟 This helped me identify some of my hostas. I think you have a similar movie on hydrangeas, which I will have to review. 🌞
Wow oh wow. I can’t believe you know all the names!! So amazing how many Hostas you have and now I have a list of Hostas that I need to search for!! Absolutely beautiful garden Jess!!!
Good job cameraman Nate. Your garden looks A - Mazing Jes !! You should quiz Natey one night see how many Hosta names he knows and ask him his faves Do you have many slugs and snails ? 🐌🐌 I only have one Hosta, I think it is Great Expectations looking at your one, I had forgotten the name. buit I knew it had something to do with Dickens. It does not seem to grow very big, may need a bit of attention. ps "Bikini" Hosta next to the pool ! They go together too 😆. 💚🤍💚
So how long does it take for your Blue Angel hostas to get giant? The biggest one you said has been in the ground a lot longer… how long? I’m trying to plan my shade garden and wondering how long it will take to get large.
So impressive how many beautiful hostas you have & more impressive that you know their names. Thanks Nate great job, & now he knows where your plant stash is. Lol thanks to you both, beautiful home & gardens
Your movies are so relaxing for the soul. I am relaxing in my chaise lounge in my garden right now. I have a tall glass of ice tea in one hand and my tablet while watching your movie in the other. Sooooooo relaxing early in the morning. Keep up the good work.
A garden of dreams Jess!!! Could you please please please do a Heuchera tour....I have just started collecting them for my gardens!!!! ❤❤❤Thanks, Jess and Nate!!!
I am wanting to start my own “gulley”. Would you suggest just start tearing into the undergrowth with a shovel, would you just put down cardboard and then put new soil over it? What would you do. I wish I could send you a picture of my yard to get your opinion. I just want to go get a bunch of clearance hosta from my meijer a get going! Thank you for the beautiful tour of your yard every day!!❤❤❤
Loved the hosta tour! I love collecting hostas too! I have approx 75 different varieties, but many are still small! Two of my fav that i don’t think you have are the Blue ivory (has halcyon in its genetics) and the Bridal falls is a large stunning one with a very different leaves form. Also, your green hosta that is close to your curly fries maybe it’s from a seed from the curly fries and it is showing one of the sport that was used to create curly fries! It seems to have the same long leaves just like it! Hostas are so much fun! :)
Just for fun, I counted along while you were doing the hosta tour. I got 291 LOL close enough to your total tally 😂 You are such a lovely person, Jes. A huge blessing to so many, including me. God bless you and Nate more abundantly!
Wow over 300, was nice to have you give us the tour and having Nate along and occasional chimed in,beautiful place. You’ve done great in splitting so many. Landscape is glorious
You can take hosta seeds and gro more hosta. They might not be exactly the same as the mother but it’s fun to find out what they are. Love your channel and all those wonderful plants.
Great job, Nate, with your camera skills. Thank you so much for the hosta tour, Jes. Your garden videos are always a joy to watch. Can you please may be make a list of which hosta do best in full sun. I know you mentioned Frozen Margarita do good in sun and full shade.
Jes, we have 3 cats and our big, orange tabby sometimes stops to watch along with me! 😂 The chirping-chipmunks really got his attention today. I snapped a pic of our cat watching your hosta-tour!
313 hostas...WOW! I jotted down the names of at least a dozen varieties I'd love to see in my flower beds. You mentioned your 5'3" frame at the beginning of the tour to which I can totally relate. Since you like T-shirts with designs and messages, I saw this one online that would be so perfect for you..."Short Girls. God only let's things grow until they're perfect. Some of us just didn't take as long as others."
Your garden is amazing, you have done such a wonderful job. I’m curious if you’ve ever planted bare root hosta and what was your experience? I planted bare root this summer, so I’m hoping to have some success.
Wow Jes🌺 . All your hostas looks so pretty in your garden and they attract attention . Are there other types of hostas that you would like to have ?Have anice day .🌺🌻🌺
Great job Nate you're a wonderful camera man. Thank you so much for helping Jess flim her hosta tour for us . And WOW Jess over 300 hosta . You have definitely worked your butt off. It truly shows because your garden is gorgeous and should be in a magazine. You've definitely given us expectations for our gardens 🤗💓💕💞
What a difference it makes to see you standing next to the hostas.I never realized just how big some them are until seeing you next to them ! Wow ! Very cool ! Love the gully garden. But OH those nasty little bunnies and their appetite ! LOL
Thanks Jes and Nate for the Hosta tour. All your Hostas are gorgeous 😍 and like I've said, before your gully garden is the best absolutely gorgeous. So sweet of Nate to help you out. ❤ enjoyed the tour so much. Love looking at all your flowers 💐 😍 God's blessings to you both, and of course Max also😊❤
I want every single Hosta that you showed. I specifically loved how you arranged them all, color & size wise. I stayed & watched the whole video bc I really loved your way, your accent , your voice, your super layed back vibe & the sound your flip-flops made. LOL! Your vast & diverse collection really inspired me & got my wheels spinning. I think it would be cool to see 1 giant hosta, like Sum & Substance encircled with a bunch of those little Mouse Ears. As for the bunny problem, maybe you should plant a separate garden of “bunny favorites” as a divergence further away somewhere. 😂🐰 🥕 🥬
I am so happy I came across your UA-cam channel! I must say, you did an amazing job on your property. The landscaping is stunning. It’s nice to know there is someone as excited about being outdoors gardening as I am! Keep up the great work!
Greetings from Pennsylvania. My family home i have is in Milford Michigan. I love watching and seeing your landscaping & projects. God Bless you & your husband. I am going to use some of your ideas for out front by the road. I have several varieties of Hosta. Im going to be planting 15 Red Twig Dogwood this spring along the front of our stable. Each yr for the next 3 yrs im going to add to the landscaping project. Plus planting Pink & White Pampas ornamental grass.❤ Im wanting spring here in Milford ❤ Ps. Im ordering a grouping of Blue Hosta.❤❤
Wow!!! I wonder how many plants you have all together? It just goes to show how things add up over time. It is no wonder why my attic is full of stuff. 🤣
Greetings from TN! Do you have problems with your heucheras surviving/thriving? Your garden is beautiful! Hostas are my favorite plants in my garden. Are elagans slow growers!
Thank you Jes for the wonderful Hosta tour. My garden is now predominately in the shade so have planted numerous Hosta over the years (not as many as you of course). Unfortunately, by August, the leaves are completely eaten by slugs . I've tried various methods like beer traps and slug baits without success . Your hosta always look so healthy. Do you ever deal with slugs? Any suggestions on how to control them? Many thanks!
Beautiful, beautiful hosta. I absolutely love ALL of them. All your flowergardens are so very beautiful, healthy and lush. Just started watching your channel. I love your little sweet voice. It reminds of my grown granddaughter 😊
Hi Jes! Thanks for your video. It’s such great inspiration for my Indiana garden as I’ve been working to add new beds this year. I am stumped on edging. Could you please teach us how you install your edging and what has worked best for a zone 5 climate? Thanks for the great ideas!
Im back taking notes on the Hostas. Im ordering a few varieties for along our walk to the duck pond we have. ❤ I rarely comment on your page but i watch every uploading. I believe a Hosta garden with impatients plants will be beautiful ❤ Thank you for the inspiration ❤
WOW! Knew there was a lot of hostas in your gardens, but would never have guessed 313! That’s a lot of hostas, but so pretty! I plan to plant more in my garden this fall. Wish I could get them on sales like you do!
Beautiful hosts tour Jes. I particularly love the stained glass and etched glass. I have some of the same ones you have and love how they add so much beauty. I call my hosta bed my hosta village. ! Nate did a great job with the camera as well.
Regarding the ground bees, I heard on Creekside video (Jenny and Jerry) that adding water to the area will get the bees to move on. The bees do not like wet soil. I have not tried it, but I will the next time i have ground bees in an area where they can hurt someone.
Jess right I the middle with the flowers pot what is grey pink mouse ears hostaplease tell me the plants so pretty. I love we touring garden and you sing it so peacefully I enjoy it
Jes, I love your hostas! Every one is the one I want, you know?☺️ I enjoy seeing your changes and how you're working on new areas. That is my favorite thing to do at our farm. My goal this year was to find different hostas and reliable perennials to build these areas. I started with three Patriot hostas, and two Big Daddy hostas, a goatsbeard, astilbes, coreopsis, and rudbeckia. Of course, there's too many to remember! But just know that your videos are completely and thoroughly enjoyed! I feel like I watch them over because they're so good and relaxing! Thank you and God bless! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your yard is gorgeous!😊❤
I love your hosta tour! Thank you! All of your gardens are so beautiful!

Thanks for the info. Never heard of that! I’ll check it out. Sounds like you have a great collection :)
Your a hosta specialist! Great information!
Wow! Wow! All those beautiful hostas! Love all the volunteers too! Great job Jes, thanks Nate for filming.🪴🐇

This helped me identify some of my hostas. I think you have a similar movie on hydrangeas, which I will have to review. 🌞
I noticed you mentioned your having issues with your Praying Hands hosta. With my experience it grows better in a pot with morning sun.
He’s do you have the praying hands hosts? If so do you remember where you got it.
I just saw the answer. 😂 I love mine but it doesn’t seem to get much bigger.😢
Wow oh wow. I can’t believe you know all the names!! So amazing how many Hostas you have and now I have a list of Hostas that I need to search for!! Absolutely beautiful garden Jess!!!

I also sit in my backyard with my IPad and watch. So relaxing. I am now on the Hosta bandwagon and will be planting those next spring❤
Your videos are so relaxing to watch😊

Good morning Jes. I love Hostas. I don’t have any and have no clue why. Lol
I don’t have any either, too hot in Central Ca and I have almost no shade 😢

Thank you so much. I’ve been waiting for the HOSTA tour. I watch all your videos mainly for the hosta. Great job. Thanks
So beautiful! Hi Nate! Blessings to you both
Thank you Jes, your hostas are incredible! 🌺💚🙃
I’m a beginner on Hostas. How much water and are they part sun plant? All the ones I planted are not growing or roasted.
Jes, we have 3 cats and our big, orange tabby sometimes stops to watch along with me! 😂 The chirping-chipmunks really got his attention today. I snapped a pic of our cat watching your hosta-tour!
That’s so cute!
313 hostas...WOW! I jotted down the names of at least a dozen varieties I'd love to see in my flower beds. You mentioned your 5'3" frame at the beginning of the tour to which I can totally relate.

Your garden is amazing, you have done such a wonderful job. I’m curious if you’ve ever planted bare root hosta and what was your experience? I planted bare root this summer, so I’m hoping to have some success.
I planted 3 bare roots guacamole hostas this spring and they are growing! Love them
Liked having Nate for the tour. While we focus on native plants we do love our hostas. Thanks for the tour.
Wow Jes🌺 . All your hostas looks so pretty in your garden and they attract attention . Are there other types of hostas that you would like to have ?Have anice day .🌺🌻🌺

So sweet of Nate to help you out. ❤ enjoyed the tour so much. Love looking at all your flowers 💐 😍 God's blessings to you both, and of course Max also😊❤
Jes your yard is a show place! Looking more and more like Mackinac Island!!! You had a good cameraman in Nate! What a team!
It's amazing that you can remember all the names. To me they look so similar.
I want every single Hosta that you showed. I specifically loved how you arranged them all, color & size wise.

WOW over 300 hostas!!! You have the most beautiful hosta garden🥰. Thank you for the tour:))
First time we've seen any personality from Nate. Seems like a nice guy. Not the grumpy, gruff guy he appeared.
GREAT tour! Can you recommend 2 or 3 types of hosta that do well in mostly sun (around 6 hours)?
I love this movie , you sure know your hostas!! & the gully is sooo beautiful!!!🥰
Beautiful hosts tour Jes. I particularly love the stained glass and etched glass. I have some of the same ones you have and love how they add so much beauty. I call my hosta bed my hosta village. ! Nate did a great job with the camera as well.

You have a wonderful garden. How do you keep the deer from eating your hosta? Thanks
Wow Jes what a great collection. You are so knowledgeable on the hosta varieties good reference video.
I was dreaming of all the seeds you could save, grow or give away!!!❤
Very impressive!! Your gardens look amazing!
What garden zone are you?? Your garden is gorgeous🌸🌸🌸 how do you keep deer out
I have just made a list of 25 varieties of your longer list that I’ll be looking out for
Thank you for a very informative video

Watched this again in January to brighten my day 🎉
I don’t know how you remember all the names of those hosta, well done

Awe Connie that’s very nice to say!
Loved your hosta tour! Beautiful!
Amazing, Hosta Queen :)
What zone are you in? Great video!!
I had an hour or so to watch a UA-cam. You may be tickled to know I chose to watch yours ahead of Garden Answer. 😊
Whoa thanks! 🥰
Your soil has to be really good, my hostas don’t grow that quickly 👍
Yes I do have great soil
Beautiful garden
Lindo lindo!!!!
😘
