It really looked great and I just knew by the following year with regular watering and feeding those six plants would be larger, fuller and gorgeous.
Several days later while doing my daily walk around to look for anything new, I noticed something strange around the tree in the front yard. Getting closer things really looked funny.
It took a moment to realize there were no longer leafy plants growing there, just a bunch of green stems. This was how I learned that Hostas happen to be a favorite before dinner snack for deer.
Therefore my advice is if you live in an area populated with those brown eyed beauties and your going to give Hosta growing a go make sure to spray them with a safe repellant periodically from their emergence in the spring until the first frost in the fall.
So for those shady areas think about planting Hostas, after all they are a whole lot more than scraggly looking lettuce.
