I came here last year, SO distraught. The sole source of shade for our hosta garden...our huge Maple tree...had to be taken down and our Hostas were dying. So many of you reassured me that they'd come back this year and in all likelihood, be even better with the tree gone.

Boy, were you right ! Some of our Hostas are 3 times bigger than they were before. They're getting the nutrients now instead of our huge tree. So, thank you so much for keeping me calm and helping me know that we hadn't lost them all.

I have another question. When I bought the house, there was a Sagae in the garden. It never got as big as I've heard it could, and I guess it didn't because of the tree. But now that the tree is gone, that thing REALLY took off this year. It's now too big for where it's at. When is the best time to transplant it? Early spring?
