It is amazing that you can have hostas and cacti so close together when one likes to be moist and in the shade and the other in the full sun and dry.
I have no luck with hostas due to the amount of snails and slugs I got. They eat them before they get to a good size.

Actually the hostas are in shade most of the day and the part where the cacti and yucca are receive sun almost all day.

I noticed some small slugs when we had a few days of rain.

The hostas are beautiful. I have had mine only 1 year and they are so much smaller.
The best way to control slugs is to cut off the bottom 1 1/2" of a plastic pop bottle and put about 1" of beer in it. Put one or two in the damp shade and watch the drunks drown. Seems like a waste of good beer, but I use the cheap stuff so it is not much of a loss.

You don't have to be crazy to grow palms in Alberta..... But it helps

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Based on the flowers it seems that you have about two weeks on us here in the Toronto area.
