Hope it's OK Luna. Stevia is supposed to be so much better than the others. I think it's available at Health Food Stores now. Stuff that starts with apart----- gives me a good stomachache! Gotten some emails about the dangers of it too! I always check the MY Page thing but she still could be some kind of business so not supposed to get free advertising. Jan

Thanks! I always love freebies! I requested a sample, but my state is not listed under the "locations available" list, so i don't know what to make of that. I guess I'll just wait and see. It never hurts to try.

"Blue Bedder" is a variety of Salvia farinacea, perennial in warm climates but an annual in colder zones. Check to see how well it does in your zone and whether you can start seed now or wait for cooler fall weather.

Paul -- you can't stop there! Based on the postings recently, we know that HVX stays in the ground around an infected plant at least 18 months. So -- question: have you moved that June? What did you put in its previous place and is that plant infected? And, going forward, have you decided what you'll put in to complement hosta because we've been warned not to put another hosta in that ground unless you use a container -- or maybe you should check out those planting bags that some other have mentioned. Best of luck -- Nance
