Re: Hosta 'Cascades' (Lachman-Lachman) & Vitamin B-1

Clyde,
Your tales are better than any Saturday night movie... but don't leave some
of us hanging out there!  Can you please elaborate on Vit. B-1.  How is it
available, what are its benefits to a plant?  How is it administered?  How
much?  When?  I could really use this info. for some new transplants!
Waiting anxiously
Barbara
