hostas among purple heucheras in a semi-shaded corner look great at the moment. I'm always envious of anyone who can grow hostas in a border. I have to keep them in isolated pots - even so, they get eaten by September, as by them nearby plants by auntie betty

in the morning (too busy watching telly at night); that's not quite as effective as nighttime, but I find it more convenient, and it saves having to use a torch too. It still works, and I have almost-pristine hostas and lupins.If they have an attractive home by fraggle84

Talkback: Cuckoo spit on plants

Spring ideas

arrives. It's getting a bit late for some bulbs but you can certainly still plant daffodils and crocus, and tulips next month. Avoid snowdrops, though - they will have dried out out of the ground and probably won't grow. You can plant tulips until December by Emmaandsam Emmaandsam

Shady Border

and some very large shrubs which each cast their obliging shade. But I don't mind this location. Near the house I have Fatsia japonica (which I know is bigger than you want) and together both areas have hostas, Alchemilla Mollis, Crocosmia, Acanthus by Cultivating Carol

Idea's for a North American Themed garden

, camassia, choreopsis and loads of hostas. There are plants for sun and shade, dry and moist soils but you do need to check for acidity to grow some of them so google for info or check them out in the RHS Plant Selector - http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/ by Daniel Lipton
