The best time to split hostas seems to be about any time that's convenient for you. I usually do it in the spring, just as new growth is coming up, as it's easy to see the clump, but you don't have to fight with lots of leaves. That's probably a goo…

I caught the show a few days ago and spent a couple of hours last night catching up on some of the earlier shows. This stuff is both insightful and entertaining. I love it. Especially the Rhubarb show.

Many Thanks

John
