I get what you're saying @D0rdogne_Damsel ... but up to this year notifications of pests and diseases etc would've been governed by the same legislation and regulation here as in the EU ... so the likelihood of their transmission would've been less, in theory at least. Now we will have our own legislation and regulation which in the future may not be the same as in the EU ... the EU can't rely on us making sensible decisions about such things just because we're neighbours (I mean, our recent history re decisions hasn't been convincing) ... so the EU has to keep to it's rules and we have to keep to ours and there has to be a cut off date ... it may seem arbitrary but that's the way it is ... much as I loathe it.

Anyway, my legal hostas have arrived, 3 x 7cms pots - so what do I do with them now @Hostafan1. I have chosent the spot, it is well dug over and weeded, what next? Any advice gratefully received.
I'd put them into bigger pots for a wee while to let them bulk up a bit .
As the Great Richard Hodson of Hawthornes Clematis once said: " What I know would fill a book. What I don't know would fill a library."
That's a great quote, so true. Not really the same vein but watching the tribute to Murray Walker last night as he often said " those that can do, the rest of us have to talk about it. "
I find find the topic of moving plants around a bit interesting. Hubby at one time worked in Quarantine and one of his duties was to check incoming planes for things brought into the country. At that time they used to walk down the aisles with sprays going over passengers. (This was in Darwin which was usually first port of call). I don’t think they’d get away with it nowadays. I’ve first hand experience of a close friend who came from overseas and smuggled veg seeds in the Consulate bag which wasn’t checked. I must admit we were both shocked that they had been able to get away with it. 😳.
Anyway, since it’s after midnight here, I’m closing for the night. Catch up later.

No rhubarb at the Norfolk cottage @Dovefromabove, but nowhere to put it, no vegetable garden there.
We grow our rhubarb near the house, with the grapevine ... it's just as attractive as some of the big leaved 'structural' ornamentals
