Re: Chemo Update
Phyllis, I've been wondering about you. I sent you a PM and never heard back so was concerned. I'm praying for you and think of you often. I hope you are able to be out in the garden this spring and enjoy all the earth's gifts to mankind. I was not able to grow any seeds this winter and have missed ...

Re: Ten Positive Things About Chemotherapy
Phyllis - I like your list and have to agree with almost all of it except people keep giving me wigs that they never wore. :lol: And they hurt, and they itch, and the cold winter wind blows right through them. I've learned to like vanilla Ensure but I'm eating good now and have gained back most of m...

Re: Thinking of You
Today, even with spring allergies running rampant and sinus infection brewing I finally dug out my old stanby H 'Green Piecrust' again using Phyllis' slicing and dicing method. What a challenge. It's now in 4 big pots waiting for a new home along with the giant unknown which I really thing might be ...

Thinking of You
Phyllis, I was thinking of you today when contemplating how to go about digging up a huge hostas. Then your words came to me, "I've learned that chopping a large hosta into pieces is much easier than wrestling the huge, heavy monster all in one chunk." Or something close to that. So thanx! Phyllis f...

Re: 2011 Online Hosta Journal- WOW!
Isn't it funny how easy things are once you know how to do them??? The AHS homepage is disrupted right now due to the on-line auction that just got over last night. Usually there is a members only click spot. :beer: And it was too late last night to go on any further but there are advertisements un...

Re: Let the Gardening Begin!
Phyllis - My garden began in fill-dirt, heavy grey & green clay. I would have to dig out a 5 gallong bucket of clay, maybe 2 buckets, then fill the hole with soil worthy of sustaining plant life (compost), then water, then plant the plant. I was much younger then. Not sure I'd do it again. Once I ha...

Re: Garden tour etiquette
Our gardens have been on several tours. Dogs are not welcome even on a leash. One couple from England brought her beagle along. Bad!!! We have 6 cats. This is their home. We try to keep them in the shop when we have tours so no one trips over them. Little children do not enjoy garden tours so if you...

Re: H. 'Candy Dish'
Candy Dish is an awesome plant. The one I have is not the fastest grower but maturing into a lovely plant. It just has to get past puberty and that akward stage. I have seen just perfect clumps of Candy Dish. And it usually takes the prize in cut leaf competition.

Re: Hostas from leftover roots
Angie,
I believe the cultivar was undalata that grew from left-over roots & in the glass of water in my house. It's a very tenacious plant with a strong will to survive.

Re: Hostas from leftover roots
A few years ago I dug out some old variety hostas. A few leaves were broken off down by the crown. I brought them into the house to enjoy in a vase of water. To my great surprise two stems developed roots & new shoots (just like cuttings from house plants do). Eventually I moved the new plant into a...
