Want to make a comment here about an extra feature of the hosta slide show. If you've heard the wire wastebaskets from Dollar Tree mentioned as a barrier against voles, then take a look at pictures 30 -34 to see how to do it. They do not cut out the bottoms, but crimp it to a lesser depth. I think I'd wear some gloves while doing the job though.

I am no Mac specialist but I do Google well. Do you see a View menu at the top of your documents screen (folder)? If Slideshow is checked, you probably want to de-select it. Here is a link that might be useful: Slideshow �

my machine crashed .. so i was interrupted, but finished... 3 things strike me ... and due to the above.. i could have missed them? 1... no mention of timing ... in my MI.. you better not be doing any such thing in august ... in fact.. its an EARLY spring or early fall process .. the clothing they are all wearing sure shows that.. but the words dont .. just because you buy a plant.. does not mean its time to plant it .. either tag them at a nursery for pick up in the proper season.. or hold them over until the next appropriate season .. very regional though .... 2... they claim nitro fert will get a tree established in 3 months.. pshaw on that ... 2 to 3 years.. for all trees and conifers ... especially based on the size of the plants shown .... 3.... i would NEVER recommend ANY fert .... unless a soil test indicates something is missing from the soil ... the cliche is.. your plants will be stressed. not hungry.. they are not children ... thats the best i will do.. without remuneration .. lol ... one last thought.. for free.. lol ... no instant gratification of buying large.. the larger the plant.. the larger the potential problems... all plants shown were severely root bound.. because the buyer went large .. go smaller.. and odds are .. less problems.. and due to such.. they will outgrow the larger problematic plants in a 3 to 5 year span .... ken

I didn't take notes, as I don't intend to spray, but there is only one that can be used by home consumers. Which can create a problem if everyone sprays it indiscriminately and allows pests to develop a resistance. One of the reasons for the detection kit is to enable more accurate usage of pesticides against the mites that spread RRD. The other interesting thing is that there are areas down South that seem to be free of mites, according to surveys by his students. A slide notes an infection rate of 2 to 4% yearly at a large public garden, with the only control being vigilant monitoring and prompt removal of infected roses. Not only is this on par with the number of roses typically added to gardens each year, but this seems no worse than what some Northern gardens lose to winter kill each year.
