Re: Where is everybody at?
Great to see so many familiar names and hear how everyone (and their Hosta) have fared during the winter. Like you all, I'm in Spring Cleanup mode but have checked in several times. Loved the thread listing the Top 20, but my own personal opinion is that I don't know how any Hosta can top Sagae!

I second Janet's suggestion...why don't you write a book...or at least compile some of the great information from the forums and archives. There is great seed starting information, perhaps the best HVX information on the web, great plant care such as the above...and the best hosta photos on the web ...

Nice Work Sherri !
Will it stop others from selling a virused plant...no Will it stop others from buying a virused plant...no But eventually, with enough victories as this, the word will get out.

For those interested, I did try "Messenger" on Peonies, coral bells, Astillbe, and a nearly dead White Forsythia. The only hosta I sprayed was Great Ex, that can use all the help it can get. As for the Coral Bells and Astillbe, I can honestly say it has made a difference...they are huge...I mean rea...

I think one of the things I like best about this forum is the relative paranoia when dealing with our prized plants! But, I agree with George. Harpin is a protein and I don't think (given my limited scientific knowledge) that it will subject plants to hormonal growth spurts. And, like George, I'm go...

Messenger growth stimulator
On a local Sunday morning radio gardening show, I heard an interesting discussion of a fairly new product called Messenger. If I am to believe everything I heard, this product sounds revolutionary. When mixed with water, it is sprayed on leaves every three weeks; and, while not a fertilizer, it allo...
