I don't remember seeing any land snails in Montreal. That has changed this year, now they're everywhere. I am even stepping on them in the grass or on the walk by the side of the house. Is the increase of land snails because of climate change? It is hotter this summer and we are having more rain than in most summers.
It is not that I like hostas that much but they grow in the shade and this is a fairly shaded garden, that's why I have so many hostas. I have always regretted the lack of full sunlight on this garden; in fact, I've spent a fair amount of time regretting the lack of sunlight on this garden but I've also come to accept it and even think it is perfect the way it is.
Hostas are easy to grow, they don't need much care (or any care), or any sunlight.
We put up with--endure--a lot of cold weather for a few mild months, for a few perfect summer days, for the way we'd like to live year round.
