Hi Jim, I just joined this davesgarden and my second time browsing has me learning about mason bees, what a great place. I've seen 4x8 sheets of plywood standing in fields in eastern wa. that must bee what they are ? Im raising worms now, and will wait on the bees. I notice your Hosta sense. this picture is part of a corner I've set aside for shade lovers. the birdbath is about 3 ft. high. 4yrs ago I found what I thought was a hosta in a pile of yard cleanings in a greenbelt area. the leaves looked right I brought it home planted it and well its as you can see giant ! I was looking at it this last week and it appears tiny roots are coming UP and not much of a sign of sprouts like the other Hostas I have. Im thinking its root bound. what's the plan ? do I dig it up and divide it ? I've never done this before. its in a circle about 2 1/2 ft in dia. Its pretty cool I'd hate ta kill it. I'll post this and find out how to navigate back. this is an amazing community - jamas
