Re: Hallsons Spring Trade 2011 **Received**
I took the dog out last night for his walk and found a very long package on the front porch. It was my trade package from "steg" in Worthington, OH. He sent 5 beautiful plants: Munchkin, Vera Varde, Popo, Purple Lady Fingers and Crocodile Rock. Of course, I didn't have any of them. Thanks for such a...

Re: Check for cutworms!
I have the same problem. It seems too cold here in Indiana for the slugs to be out. I have holes in hostas all over the garden. Is there any time of day that you should be able to see them? I'll be on my way to Lowe's this week.

They just get smaller!
Some of my hostas came back smaller than last year. Niagra Falls is one of these. It gets smaller and smaller each year. Is there anything I can do short of moving it. Could it be a nutrition problem? Any and all suggestion appreciated.

Secret Trade is on It's Way!!
My secret trade left Portland, IN today on its way west. One of the plants in the trade was originally purchased in the state to which it is returning. I wonder what states might be west of Indiana?
