I am back, it's been years

11 years ago

Hi, I am not sure if anyone here has been on long enough, I used to be an avid poster and trader about 10 years ago, I am using the same user name. Anyways, I just wanted to re-introduce myself, my name is Andrea, and I live in WI. My Hostas are now gigantic and I would like to trade, but I am not even sure if I can do this here, or if I have to use the trade forum. A little but of guidance would be nice.

Typically, people would use the trade forum. However, with HVX and nemotodes and everything else, I believe that trading has slowed down significantly over the last couple years.

Hello Andrea, welcome back. Afraid you were a little before my time. I've only been here about 5 years. At the top of the hosta forum you will see sub-forums titled Conversations and another titled Exchanges. The exchange one is where you can do trading. Good luck :)

Thank you all so much for listening to me. This week is already been so hard and i am still four days away from the 3rd. Everone I have talked to this week replays that day.I remember seeing him or I remember talking to him an hour before the accident. UHHHHH I just feel mad when they say that. I remember I was finally on my way home after the longest time we were ever apart and getting the worst call of my life.I still say why did I go? Why couldnt one of them be with him that night? Why Why Why ? I feel so angry I know they are just trying to help and be here but, I was not here the last week of his life and they were.I would have stopped him he would still be here and you would not have to listen to me cry all the time. I feel angry this week is that wrong ? My Mom and Dad are still trying to get me to go to the mountains and I have thought about it alot. My Uncle Dean is going to be there and we are real close. I would love to see him but I dont know. Its not like I will be great company that day and then again maybe it will keep me away from the fireworks that will bring me down so much. I have the 3rd which is one year then the next day is leonards most favorite day of all times. He was always such a little kid on that day. Im really going to miss seeing the smile on his face that day, he was always so happy that day. Thank you again for listening. Tracy

It's been a year since I lost my husband and weird dreams also

I'm so sorry. You've had one stunning blow right after another, & you must be reeling from it. I don't for one minute believe that these are "real" dreams (ie, dreams in which it's really your husband communicating). No way would he show up to torture you. I think they're just dreams in which your inner self is expressing the dismaying sense of loss & helplessness (if you'd known on November 4th, what could you have done? nothing). I'm with Marie: find someone & talk & talk & talk. Cry & holler & blubber if you want. I'm holding you in my thoughts & in my heart.

LOL, Shelley you said it! Whenever I water my plants and disturb one they come out and stare me right in the eye and, yes, I do start apologizing for interrupting them or calling attention or whatnot. I notice when they're very unhappy they do that thing boxers do when they're about to fight, they go back and forth from one leg to another - or in their case one set of legs to another. I have one living right now in my Madagascar Palm tree and he turns his head and looks at me as soon as I come outside with the hose in my hand. It's his/her yard. I like Monica's because s/he is posing and smiling for the camera.

Welcome back! I don't post much but have been on this forum for more than 10 years, LOL! It is a shame that there is less trading due to these Hosta problems.....it was always fun sending and receiving Hostas in the mail. Of course it can still be done.....and with caution. Actually the fact that all your plants have been there for so long shows they are clean and healthy.......just be careful that what you get in return is healthy and maybe keep the isolated in another part of the garden for a year or two to be sure.

Wow, I didn't realize Hosta virus X has become so widespread. One of the reasons I quit coming here was because I went back to school for Horticulture and then moved to a much smaller yard. I do not believe I have a problem with any diseases, but my yard space is also so limited that when plant struggles, it goes, and not on the compost either :-)Thanks for the nice welcome, and Michelle, I will try to learn how to post pictures and try to share them here.
