My Fragrant Bouquet and one other have big brown light spots. Could they be

Sagae has little tiny brown spots.
My older Golden Tiara has pin hole holes in the leaves.
What do I have and what do I do about all these pests? >>
Jan,
The browning is due to an attempt to acclimate to sun. They will be ok. Water
and mulch like crazy.
Pin holes are those little slugs that are the bane of Indiana hosta gardens.
Sprinkle Sevin at base and up the petioles a bit with Sevin.
