Re: Blue Ivory vs First Frost
I have yet to see a picture of 'Blue Ivory,' which I don't own, that has anywhere near the creamy yellow margin with soft blue interior that makes 'First Frost' unique for the first part of the season.

Re: Keeping the algae down?
I keep my water-fertilizer solution in gallon milk jugs, and try to let them sit a day before use. At Hosta College class some years ago Mary Chastain advised a drop or two of dishwashing liquid per gallon. This has worked for me. No algae at all

Re: To plant in ground or not question

Re: Nematodes..Guess I'll start it this year
Dr. Dave, did you put the 'Maui Buttercups' leaves under the microscope, or were they just visible symptoms? How many yearly treatments are you giving the infected plants?

Record First Look attendance
Kent, a record number of people showed up only because they heard you weren't going to be there, and they'd have a chance to win something.

“Praying Hands”
Didn't know where you were going until I saw the “Praying Hands” sketch. Another great, informative, and pertinent NOPD. I too like the plant and promote it.

Floods
