Responding to Viola Ann's post from 2010! Guess I'm just a bit slow...
Yes I also do a lot of feeling the ground for pips I think should be coming up.
But I always read the Hostapedia with it on the kitchen table, so no strain on my thighs! I weighed
it once and I think it tipped the scale at 13 pounds. Much more convenient to start out with the 'Field Guide to Hostas', also by Mark Zilis.
