I've just read that you can eat hostas.

Has anyone tried them? Do they taste good enough to be worth while? My garden is shady most of the time so hostas would be very happy here if I could keep slugs away from them (and I've heard that wood chip mulch keeps slugs down around them). If they taste good, I'd give it a go. In fact I may try growing them anyway.

Well, if they're good enough for every slug and snail within a five K radius ...

But I might be having a taste of mine when they come through in the spring Love the word hoston!

Who'd a thought! Might have a nibble when they come up. Shame I chuckled two pots full out last year, I just got fed up with the slugs.

When we had the pond I grew Hostas but after filling it in to make veg beds the slugs soon came back and munched on them.

I've never tried them but my tortoise likes them. I give him any nibbled leaves I find.

I don't grow them because of the slugs but if Alan Carter in his Scottish Forest Garden says they're edible, they will be.

I don't grow them because of slugs as well!! But when I set my cattle trough pond up I may give a couple in pots a go.
