Beautiful, Phil. Your garden has always been one I've admired, stuck here in the middle of the city.

It has not been a good hosta year. On top of many other hosta problems, including bugs, too much sun, bad weather and poor drainage, the grasshoppers have arrived and some big critter has been walking in the middle of a couple of my hosta. :-(

There is always next year.

I bet it will grow again, next year there might be no sign of present problems. In my garden I have 6 hostas which came up all crumpled up and smaller, seemed to be from long freezing and a touch of fungus. Right now most of them found their stride back, developing normal leaves consistently. So it seems to be a fleeting problem. Yours will too.
