    I'd have thought so Hosta.   I have spares every year now when I divide them and always find homes for them.  First thing to go at the charity sale.

    Belgians do irony but they're more likely to do surreal.   They need both to cope with their politics and politicians.   Great fun.

  • I've a feeling the Shady Bank needs more hostas, but only the big tough ones that the slugs and snails find  too much for them image

    Suits me too.  I just wish winters were shorter and drier and less grey.......

    All my hostas, big or small, are slug magnets so they get regular but sparse sprinklings of the wildlife friendly slug pellets and now look good all year from the first shoots to the last faded leaf.

    Verdun, very much mix and match. The main planted part of the garden has lots of Hostas, but mainly because it was the first part I planted , so the hostas I brought with me went there. 

    One the ground dries out a bit, I'm lifting most of them ( not sure what I'm doing with them ) to allow me to plant a greater variety of plants. ( any excuse )

    Dove. Leave a bit of space in the car in June and you can have some.

    Another hijacked thread! imageimage

    I get annoyed with "return back" Return means go back so how can one go back back?

    Quite.

    And many others.

    The problem is, I think, that the writers, editors, producers, not to mention the presenters of many of these programmes either don't know or don't care.  I blame the education system.  (I was very hot on the correct use of units and, for that matter, language, when I was at the chalkface).
