Default Re: Hello and a question

I'm a big believer in the multi-use of what's around us - experiencing the full potential of nature at its best. In this case, you like hostas, but also like bananas. I really don't think you need to be without either. You see... bananas create shade! So do figs and any other fruits you may like! Don't forget to plant some ferns under there too - and when it warms up be sure to tuck some bromeliads and orchids here and there. Your hostas will be quite at home in there, methinks. So, in this case you really can have your cake and eat it too!

Be well,
Mike
