Re: [SG] Hostas damaged

Greetings,

My heart goes out to you!  The leaf stem also produces energy for the plant.  What I do and it works well, when the leaf is heavily damaged, just cut off the leaf leaving the stem.  It will help to feed the plant until a new flush of leaves arrive.

Sincerely, Gregory Miller

Subject:        [SG] Hostas damaged

After a near tornado last week everything in my garden is crushed.  Hail the
size of golf balls damaged not only plants but siding, cars, windows, etc.
One can make a real buy on new cars in my neighborhood right now if one does
not mind that they look like they have been machine gunned.

My hostas are lace.  My impulse is to just let nature take it's course and
wait.  But they look so bad I am thinking of cutting some of the leaves off.
Does anyone have a thought just which would be better for the plants.  They
extend over a twenty foot by three foot area all down the side of my house
and round the front.  Usually they make a beautiful show.
