RE: Need some help

Lil, I have a shed that would work, now that you mention it, though according to what you tell me I'll probably leave the hostas out, and let them get their own snow -- plenty of that here. Thanks!

Alyce, several of my hostas stay out in the pots all year and have
successfully come back over 3 years now.  If its a really precious hosta I put
it pot and all in the unheated garage on the outside wall, and give it a
shovelful of snow from time to time.  I especially do this with some of my
minis.
