One good, one bad thing

Post by thy »

Went to 3 nurseries just at the beach direction :wink:
I have talked hard and loud to all of them for 2 years now and the good thing.. all the hostas seems to be healthy.
The bad thing, none of the labels had a vendor name :o . If you know the colors of their tags, no problem but there were new tags with new colors too... they are hiding...
Okay if they sell good plants, otherwise... the nuseries know :wink:

One of the big stores here do not sell hostas anymore.. they were so infected in spring... so, sometimes, someones listen.. go on spread the word... avoid HVX

:D Pia
Knowing there are still a lot out there :cry:

At least the word is getting around. Glad you saw healthy plants this time.
