    Help me with my hostas. We were out out town for a week and we had A LOT of rain (tons, my basement had some water in it even for the first time). And now my hostas look like this. How can I fix them?[/img]

    Well, I'm not sure there is too much you can do other than trim off the brown spots iowagirl. That must have been torrential rain!!

    It certainly looks as though the rain you've had has done the damage to your hostas. As Netty says the only thing you can do is take off all the browing leaves and hope you don't have heavy rain like that again.
