Snails LOVE to eat hostas.

-Babka

the ONLY stupid question.. is the un-asked one

Most everything will eat hosta at one time or another!

We should start a list of what we have found munching on our so loved plants.

I have so far had:

rabbits
slugs
cut worms

"Most everything will eat hosta at one time or another!"

in fact, I was eating one just yesterday - a nice fat eye got snapped off by a hose. Tastes a lot like raw asparagus picked in the garden...

I used to tell my students "There is no such thing as a stupid question... only stupid questioners..."

(just kidding around... I don't have snails in my garden, but it sounds like they are just slugs with a handicap...)

can't forget the deer!!!

Couldn't resist agreeing with Ken about the only stupid question.... don't know how many times I've told my customer's that same thing when they start out with 'I have a stupid question...'.

You mentioned the bad guys eating hostas above the surface. I just found a hosta with all the roots eaten off, crown intact with 2 large eyes- some rodent did that in the cold of the winter probably.
