The 'Hosta Bug' bit me again & some questions!
Comments (4)Hello Cindy, I see you are in middle TN....I am in NW Mississippi, about a mile below Memphis but am in the Mid-South Hosta Society based in Memphis. Since TN is so wide you could be far far away but in case you are close enough our society will be having our annual sale next Sat. May 9th in Cordova which is just east of Memphis..... We will have over 1000 hostas with more than 140 varieties....and lots of hosta folks there who can answer questions. There is also a free garden tour at the home of the member who is hosting the sale this year. This is our 11th year and it's always a great day. Four years ago the sale/tour was at my garden and we had a lady drive from Birmingham! Also...I am the "Ways and Means" person for our club and we order the 10" rose markers from EON. That's what most of our folks like although EON and others sources have lot of different ones. We order at wholesale prices so we can offer them at a very good price to members. I'm sure other societies could do the same. Sounds like you have a great start on your road to hostaholicism (probably not a word but that's what it is!)Just be warned....there is no cure...and it gets worse every year Why don't you email me if you would like more info on the sale. It's pouring down rain here right now too and I can almost see the plants growing by the hour. Gloria...See MoreSquash bugs - forgive me Nature, for I have sinned
Comments (41)SVBs do attack gourds, although it seems like gourds are not necessarily their favorite thing. Sometimes they kill mine and sometimes they don't. They seem to bother decorative warted gourds more than they bother birdhouse gourds. The nice thing about catnip is you only have to plant it once. After that, it will reseed itself everywhere. I always let mine bloom its head off because the flowers attract beneficial insects. Catmint is another great companion plant for squash and other plants. I have "Walker's Low" catmint growing near my squash. Amy, Gently rub a leaf of your catnip-looking plant between your fingers and see if you pick up a catnip aroma. Their scent is present from a pretty early age. I think I have lost one Seminole plant one year, and I never checked it to see if it was SVBs that got it or if it was bacterial wilt or something similar. The other Seminole plants just filled in the area where the deceased plant had been growing and within a couple of weeks, it was so well filled-in that no one but I knew that a plant had died there in that row. In a good year, Seminole runs 30-40' across my garden and I let it do as it pleases because it grows in conditions, and under pest pressure, that nothing else can and will tolerate, except for other C. moschata winter squash. This year I planted both the regular fruited Seminole and the ones with the larger fruit. In the past, I've only grown the regular one. C. moschatas are as close to being SVB-proof as anything else I've ever grown. Squash bugs and squash vine borers are a big problem roughly 8 years out of 10 for everything except the C. moschata types. Over the years, I basically dropped all the C. pepo and C. maxima types of pumpkins, replacing them with C. moschata types. I just got tired of fighting the SVBs every year, so figured I'd work smarter instead of working harder, and replaced them with C. moschatas that deter the SVBs for me.

Comments (64)Late to the discussion as usual... My sister was recently raving about Mrs. Maizel to me, but I have yet to check it out. I have recently discovered Documentary Now! on Netflix & really enjoy its escapist silly-ness. It's from a couple of years ago & I don't know how I missed it, but there is truly such a wealth of good entertainment nowadays, I don't know how anyone can keep up. Helen Mirren introduces every episode, Bill Hader & Fred Armisen star & executive producer is Lorne Michaels. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4677934/ I prefer comedy to drama, so I really don't follow the dark & sober stuff, tho hubby does....See MoreAmazon Netflix chick flick movie recommendations
Comments (24)Well my neighbors invited me over for dinner so I didn’t get to any of these yet. Next weekend. I’ve seen a bunch of the older ones but there have been times when I’ve tried to remember some of the good ones I’d want to watch again. Great reference list!...See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
