Hi Everyone
This is my first posting to the group and please forgive me if I appear a
little thick.
Last summer we planted a Hosta in our garden, which has full sun on it all
day long, in soil that is fairly heavy and has a lot of clay content (not
sure if this is relevant but thouight I'd tell you anyway :-)
It survived the summer quite well, but by October had died back until by
Christmas there was nothing to show where it had been (or at least I didn't
think so).
Having been out in the garden this week as the weather has been so warm I
was amazed to count 17 i2 inch high shoots coming up where this Hosta had
once stood. My question is "What should I/could I do with them.


Just enjoy them. ;-) I've just surrounded one of ours with a ring of gravel
to deter the slugs so you could do that, too.
