Awakening Angel, one of my all time favs. I purchased her as just a little thing knowing nothing about her. So glad I did. Just looking at her makes me smile.

... Preview: Re: Cut worm issues? Can I save these rootless stalks? OK, So VOLES huh. Great. I've never had a vole encounter before. Thanks sooooo much for the heads up! You were spot on and I greatly appreciate your quick response. Never would have gone there. No holes, except for the giant groundh...

Hi Chris, A timely topic for me. I just came in out of the rain to take a break. I'm still planting. The area where my pink turtles are growing, is perfect for my new Atlantis hosta. Would it be ok to move them now? They have finished blooming. Should I also cut them back? thanks again for being the...

It's not smart to mess with Mother Nature. We live in a wetland area so we have already p*ssed her off. I know for a fact, water wins. Wetlands are naturally and endlessly wet, that's why they call them wetlands. Homes probably should not have been built here, but here we are. We didn't build it, we...

Actually, I did spend one sunny hour molding some garden critters from the heavy clay I was digging. What the heck, ya gotta have some fun while you're stuck in the mud. Seriously I do have soil issues. We live in a wetland area. We have installed a couple french drains to help with drainage. When w...

Great, now I have foliar nematodes. They weren't here last year so where the heck did they come from? What next? First it's petiole and crown rot, then the nursery that planted some of my hostas, planted them so deep they didn't see the light of day until the 4th of July. The only thing I don't have...

Thanks guys for your help. I will return it so the store will be informed. This time my procrastination paid off. It's getting harder to find trust worthy sources. This nursery is very popular. Is there anything that can be done to inform the gardeners in this area? Thanks again for all that you do ...

Hi Phyllis, Thanks for the great information. Simple and direct. I am just finding out about seeds. Last year it never even occured to me Hostas could set seed. Never thought about it. This year I accidently found some seedlings. So small. I couldn't resist encouraging them. I can never let anything...

Wow, looks like something you'd chop up and stir fry. Seems like you got an answer so I'll just add a little more hope. I lost several hostas with crown rot. Now I am on alert. The point is, I still get little tiny sprouts popping up in various places from the smallest bit of crown that was left in ...

Hi, I purchased this at a popular Detroit area nursery. This plant looks more than stressed because I let it dry out a few times. What do you think? Thanks for your help, sis

Thanks for all the great advice. It is so kind of you to take the time to help. I have enough plant-able area to just plop my hostas in the ground and move them in the spring. I suppose this is the easiest option. At this late date, I don’t know if it really matters which way I go. I’m just thinking...

HI, I HAVE BEEN BUSTING MY BUNS TO THE POINT OF TEARS TRYING TO GET THE REST OF MY HOSTAS PLANTED. MANY ARE LARGE AND WERE PURCHASED BARE ROOT. I POTTED EACH UP IN POTTING SOIL. THE FOLLOWING ARE WAITING IN THE WINGS: ATLANTIS, LAKESIDE SURF RIDER, CHOO CHOO TRAIN, DIVA, DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT, DIANA RE...
