Rwinney, I have very weak knees along with peripheral neuropathy so when I first began gardening on my rump in the front yard, some cars would actually slow or stop to ask if I was ok...very neighborly of them indeed and appreciated. Smiles. Now, about your hardy hostas...I am jealous...can't seem to prevent snails and slugs from my attempts at having them...have tried all sorts of traps...beer, salt..What is your secret to hosta success?

Hi @fiesty76. Ahhh...perhaps it's your soil. Maybe relocate them?? Shade is key as these babies are pretty hard to kill otherwise. Some of my breeds end up looking like swiss cheese by summers end from bugs.
Regarding our rumps...each year my progression down hill has challenged me to find ways of getting out in my yard and gardens. Where there's a will there's a way but, whatever I'm physically able to do makes me pay in a very debilitating way. Kind of like a diabetic physically being able to eat sugar and bad food but, paying the price dearly for their escapades.
I'm glad to hear you find ways to be outdoors that bring you happiness! Keep it up and good luck with your hostas.
Be well
Rachel
