Once you own a hosta, they require so little care, really, just a reasonably fertile spot in the garden with good drainage below, some part shade during the day to not scald their leaves, and occasional watering during dry periods. And, like humans, they don’t like being stepped on.

We expect it to look green and healthy yet many people do no more than mow it once or twice a week and wonder why it looks so pale and yellow, if not brown and dead.

Because it had been hard worked, it was a fair bet that the ground would be compacted so the first job was to loosen and aerate the ground. This is a job you can do at either end of the season, but we'd moved in November and the rainy season was underway so improving drainage was a priority.

Irises are easily grown from tubers called rhizomes, those knobby things you see poking out of the soil. You can either plant a fresh piece of rhizome or one with a fan of leaves (trim leaves down to 4" to reduce transplant shock). Just be sure the side with root nubs faces downwards shoved partway into the soil. Any diseased or soft bits go straight to the garbage, not the compost bin.
