Todo BOOKSALESATURDAY By diane Cleland WhenIfindaplantthat grows well in my garden, is easy to care for and adds beauty, it is a hard combi - nation to ignore. Thus my motto seems to be if one is good more must be better. Hostas are one of those plants which add beauty to my shade garden, relatively easy to care for and grow well around my Japanese maple how can you hold back with just a few. There are hundreds of cultivars to choose from with leaves that may be light or dark green, chartreuse or yellow, gray-green or blue. Many are variegated, leaf texture also varies, and it can be smooth, shiny, corrugated or puckered. One year I purchased ten beautiful specimens, each with their own unique char - acteristics. I could envision them nestled among my hy- drangeas on the north side of the house. I could hardly wait. After planting them carefully and watching as they grew large and beau - tiful it was hard to con- tain my excitement. Then one day I noticed one of my pride and joys was rather limp and sickly looking. The next day one or two more were not looking so good, what could be happing to my beautiful hostas? When I closely examined one of my poor, sad looking plants I could not believe my eyes, there was nothing left of them except for a few wilted leaves. If you guessed gophers were the problem you would be correct. They had eaten all ten. This has not deterred me in my love for, and col - lection of, hostas. Since that fateful time I care- fully plant my hostas with wire mesh buried deep and around each plant. Another tactic is planting them in a nursery pot with the bot - tom cut out sunk down to ground level. Both of these methods seem to have been successful, so far. Slugs also have an at - traction to foliage plants, and hostas are a favorite. Beer traps are effective, set cottage-cheese contain - ers in beds with the rims at soil level; add beer. The lit- tle devils are attracted to the fermenting smell of the beer which they fall into and drown. Empty the con - tainers every day and re- plenish the beer. Slug bait is also available at your lo- cal nursery; look for bait that is not harmful to pets and wildlife. Hostas look best in bright but indirect light and in loamy, well-drained soil. When shoots emerge each spring, lightly scat - ter balanced fertilizer over plant crowns. They like rich, moisture retentive soil. Adding large amounts of decayed manure or com - post should be dug into the ground before planting. You may dig up and di- vide hostas anytime during the growing season. The best time is spring when growth is emerging. Cut clumps with a sharp knife; keep new divisions moist while they settle in. This affliction of acquir - ing multiples also takes in my 13 hydrangeas, eight Japanese maples, numer- ous Daylilies, and the list goes on. I hope this will inspire you to join the "one is good – more is better" club. Do not miss the Garden Club's annual plant sale held 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 16 and 17 at the Union Hall, 12889 Baker Road. Mem - bers have been propagat- ing, dividing and growing plants for months to get ready. The quality of the plants offered for sale and the expert advice given by members has made this plant sale a sold out affair for many years.
