Hostas In The Making


April 2


Two weeks after (April 18)


March 10

Two more weeks and it'll be full grown. Need to put egg shells this weekend to deter the slugs. Or should I use beer or ground coffee?

ground coffee is easier to come by. You might be able to use the left over grounds from the office coffee machine, too...be GREEN!

Don't forget, hostas also need to be "separated" or their root system will choke themselves. You can make a nice border with these babies.

Enjoy!

Good to know, Anna, that they need to be separated. Will do this once I've pinpointed where to transfer them.

I did use left-over coffee grounds last year -- trying to be "chemical-free".Flowers didn't bloom as nicely as the previous year. Will be putting them around the hosta instead.
