Re: Desperately need help saving Hosta!

I had given up on ever growing hostas because of voles. I have actually stood in the yard and watched a plant just "flop over" a few years ago.

Nematodes in the southern U.S.?

I have always perceived hostas as a low maintenance, easy-to-grow perennial--that is, until I started checking out the internet and learned about HVX, etc. The focus of my attention recently: Nematodes (like I don't have enough to worry about, right?) In reading some of the information about foliar ...

Re: Top Shelf Hostas - Number 3

You are a wonderful writer! I enjoyed "parts 1 & 2" of this series so much; when I saw you had posted a "part 3," I immediately started smiling, knowing that I would enjoy it, too. I hope you consider this a compliment (it's intended to be!): As I read this, I kept thinking that I was reading a "dev...

Re: Good Things Do Happen!

This is a wonderful story! Meese is a very fortunate cat! Just think how difficult his life would have been without YOU!! Your kindness and generous spirit made every difference in his life. We have a "momma cat" who showed up about 5 years ago with two little kittens. Since then, we've had all thre...

Re: Top Shelf Hostas - Number One - with additions

I'm new to this forum, so I just found this post. I enjoyed this story so much! Thank you for taking the time to write it; I'm fascinated by the "stories" behind the names. To be honest, lots of times it's the name that draws me to a plant, then I see a picture of it and decide whether I want it or ...
