There is a foliar nematode that causes panic in the hosta world.  You are 
fortunate to have an inspector interested in your well being.

The squishy welcomes were beginning to annoy some people with us who carried 
sneakers to enter customs.  Then they switched to shoes in backpacks.  I just 
kept the newly colored shoes for hiking around and still have them.  They are 
my garden shoes now.  

Marilyn, are you not worried when you add a new lot of plants to your 
greenhouse especially if sales are very important to you?  A lot of plants 
can be "clean" for a short time and when the last treatment wears off 
something new pops up.  It always something.
