Anyone know Hosta Bob from Shipshewana market?

Post by spencer1400 »

I go to the Tuesday/ Wednesday flea market in Shipshewana, Indiana several times a year. I have purchased huge mature hostas from a dealer there that everyone calls Hosta Bob. He gave me his cell phone number and I cann't read it because it is light and written in pencil. I would like to know his last name and maybe I could find a land phone number for him. I want him to bring the new hostas that he has for me. Any help will be appreciated.
