I planted the hostas surrounding a log behind the pond. It stays shady
most of the day and i keep it moist for my toad friends that i am just
about ready for.

Where are you putting your hostas? In the water, in a bog, or around
the pond? Are they
'wet' area friendly? I have always grown mine in around the house, in
shady spots (like in
the spaces between shrubs along the side of the house. I planted some
under one of our
pine trees, and they have more than quadrupled in size in less than a
week.

I repotted my taro today. The roots were literally climbing out of
it's pot. The lilies
are all fine, so I left them alone. But I had to take the toilet
brush to the string algae
(again *sigh*). All the fish wanted to do while I was in the pond was
nip at my legs and
swim to the exact spot I was planning on putting my foot down next..
lol.

Good luck with the storm.
