Re: Hosta Budget and hosta mapping
Stacy,
I tried the mapping thing last year. After the measurements came up wrong a couple
of times, I gave up. Then I pulled out the camcorder. Walking and naming each
hosta as I went. Spring was a breeze and I have a bonus. I can look at tape to
check for growth and changes.
