Russ-
Are you talking about the IAP (Indiana Accredited Plantsmen) test? If so, you probably could pass it with your eyes closed.... At least the old version, which if you currently hold a manual, I think you can still take the old version, but I'm not sure. I took the test in January, scored 99 out of 100. Only thing I missed was a mistaken ID, was in a hurry and thought a bit of hemlock branch was a yew.  My boss is on the INLA board of directors, so if you have any questions about it, I can check with her and she can check with Wayne about the test.Do the K&K boys drive red tri-axles? If so, I think one of them darn near killed me a few years ago.... Forgot about one of our suppliers. Galema's Greenhouse in West Lafayette. We get most of our annuals from them, they have good prices, and are good about faxing you with sale items during the season.... Dan

I'm from Fort Wayne-suprised I didn't see posts from anybody else from the Fort (It seems like almost anyone with a truck here also has a lawn service-some with just a trunk!)

Yep, I am talking about the IAP. Something happened again in Jan. and I didn't take the test. I don't know about passing the test, even with my eyes open. I'm just an old man who likes to play outside; and someone on this site (Ric) once said "It is going to take about 3 lifetimes to learn everything you need to know." Seems like the more I learn, the more I know that I don't know very much. and--Yep--K&K is all red and 14 tires. Can't comment on their driving, but, they sure can put product where ya need it and I have not met one with a bad attitude.

I need to correct myself, I've been meaning to do it for a while. The IAP is no longer the IAP, it is now the Indiana Accredited Horticulturalist, or IAH. I knew better, but I don't know why I said IAP instead of IAH.
Sorry if it caused any confusion!

Bagworms!
Just thougt I would let you all know that I found the first bagworms of the season today! The little SOBs probably hatched in the last couple of days, definately a week earlier than normal.
These were in Brownsburg, and there were several of them on that particular hawthorn tree. I didn't look at any of the other properties I was on later today, but meant to. It's begun again! I expect that you guys further north will be waiting a few more days to see any, though from Indy southward should start seeing them any time.  Put up the good fight! We've used Talstar with great success. Probably will this year again until it runs out! For those that don't know what to look for, I'm attaching a pic of young one from last year. The Bic pen is for size reference only! Dan
