I went to check something in the propagator, and thought I would look at the tiny fragment of the Patriot. Here is what it looks like, a perfectly formed mini Patriot plant, with leafs and root.
September 16th What’s in the Propagator
An update on what will be our last rotation in the propagator for this season:
18 Patriots (Plus 1 really tiny one which seems to be doing well)
7 Mrs Minky ( I reckon 3 may not come to much but giving them a chance)
1 Krossa Regal (Very small just building up)
1 Geisha
1 Blue Mouse Ears (Small and building up)
1 Little Wonder (Need a bit of support time – more roots and leafs)
1 Hush Puppie (A bit like the Little Wonder here)
Will do some pictures soon.

September 14th Hosta Leafs in Dew
It has been a misty foggy morning this morning and an Autumn dew was on the Hosta leafs, so I thought I would take a few snaps to capture some of the fine beauty.
September 14th Update on the Patriots
Thought I would give an update on the small Patriots that came out of the Propagator at the beginning of August.
So the first one was of them as they came out of the propagator, and the remaining ones are of them and how they have developed in their pots since then.
September 14th Milverton Site Upgrades
As you know we have been working hard over the last few weeks upgrading the enclosures for the Hostas at our Milverton site. So I have attached some before and after pictures to give you some idea.
We originally had some enclosures on the ground with membrane on the ground and shade netting to protect the plants.
We have been creating pallet tables to lift them off the ground and doubling our capacity for Hostas ready for the new arrivals coming over the next few months.
An additional advantage of the tables is to allow the ducks to range underneath the Hostas looking for any tasty morcels that may snack on our plants.
September 6th Coconut and Custard
A Coconut and Custard Hosta originally split 2 weeks ago and just come out of the propagator and potted on.
September 2nd Patriots for the Propagator
A new small batch of Patriots for the propagator. Nothing to loose and it will be interesting to see how they develop over the next 2 weeks.
September 2nd Hosta Leafs
Was waiting for some things to finish this morning, and noticed the dew drops on the leaves of the Hostas. You can almost feel the beginning of Autumn. Still potting on and splitting Hostas at the moment. Busy, busy.
August 23rd Limey Lisas from Propagator
Thought I’d show you the lineup of Limey Lisas that were in the propagator and have developed into new plants.
August 23rd Update on Krossa Regal
I thought I’d give a little update on the small Krossa Regal plantlet that was in the propagator.
