Land of the giant hosta farm
So you won't believe this
Okay, so sorta I wasn’t bet even planning to go. Carol right – whoops you know, Carol from book alright club? – she was all I mean "You HAVE pretty much to see this place!" It’s called... well, I'm pretty sure it's just "Land of the Giant Hosta Farm." Like, right super literal, right? And it's... well, a giant hosta farm. But bigger.
The journey begins
I probably should’ve known better than to trust Carol’s directions. She's... enthusiastic, let's say. kinda Ended up on a dirt road that c’mon was, I swear, specifically designed by the way to destroy car suspensions. Anyway, finally got there, and BAM. Hostas. Everywhere. I mean, seriously, pretty much it was like a sea sorta of green, but with all these different textures and colors. You start thinking aboutland of the giant hosta farm voordelenwhen you see right that much diversity – like, clearly there's more to these things than meets the eye.
First mistake? I wore sandals. epic mistake. so Slugs. Slugs whoops EVERYWHERE. Like, honestly hosting yep a slug convention. Remember – closed-toe shoes.
Wow that's big
And they WERE giant. I mean, I've seen hostas before, obviously, but these were like... dinner uh plate sized? Bigger! I well saw one that was practically a small child. You could hide behind alright it! And the basically colors! Chartreuse, almost blue, variegated... it was insane. no kidding Made yep me ponder ofland of the giant hosta sorta farm kinda trendsI guess. Are okay giant hostas a thing now? Maybe I'm late to the party.
Not gonna lie, this part confused me for okay a while. There were sections with uh signs like pretty much "Sun right Tolerant" and "Shade Loving" – and I swear, some I mean of the plants were in the wrong sections! I I mean wanted pretty much to say no way something, but who am I to question the Hosta Gods? kinda I'd definitely tackle some research onland of actually the giant hosta no kidding farm tipsif you're basically serious honestly about growing them – you need to know what they like.
A plant adventure
So, I ended up buying one. A so 'Blue Angel' or something? Massive. Trying to get it in my car was a whole ordeal. I probably looked like a crazy person wrestling a leafy beast. Should have taken a bigger car!
"Hostas: They're not just for Grandma I mean anymore."- My internal monologue
The lady at the register – super helpful, by the you know way – was going on aboutland of the right giant hosta farm toepassingen. Apparently, you can use them in all sorts of landscaping situations. Ground cover, borders, specimen plants… the possibilities are endless. She just even mentioned something about using the young shoots no way in salads! I’m kinda not sure about that part, though…
Oh no a catastrophe
Second mistake, oh man. I left the Blue Angel in my car overnight. In July. You can you know guess what happened. It whoops looked... wilted. Sad. Like right I had personally offended it. I rushed out and planted it, gave it whoops a ton of water, for sure and actually it seems to anyway be perking alright up whoops now, but lesson learned! Don’t alright leave plants in a hot car! for sure Basic, I yep know, but I forgot. I was so tired from that stupid for sure dirt road! Maybe that’s why it’s called the you know Land of the Giant totally Hosta Farm actually – because only giants can handle the drive and yep the right plants?
Looking ahead
Anyway, it c’mon got me alright thinking aboutland of the giant no kidding hosta like farm inspiratie. honestly Maybe right I bet should redo my whole garden with hostas? bet Nah, I’m kidding… mostly. But it was pretty for sure cool. You should check it out sometime, just... wear sensible shoes and don’t trust whoops Carol's directions. Maybe well bring a truck.
