I would have picked a cooler day but I had a rare free Sat afternoon. :D Two of the hosta moved were 5 ft mature ones. I gathered up the leaves and wrapped duct tape about them (to see wha...

Got mine in 2005 as a TC
Multiplied very nicely in 2006 from 1 to 3 eye. Looked great.
Transplanted in fall of 06 and is the one and ONLY hosta that did not come back in this Spring. :x

I'll try again... but won't transplant.

Anyone else had this happen??

Hi Sweetpea, Sorry I'm not one of the ladies :( , but I've been on the Aikins for 15 months.
