Conflicted

I have a quandry.  Two days ago I still had flowers on our Aureomarginata hostas.  I don’t collect hosta seeds because I don’t generally want the hostas to put any energy into seed production AND (and this is a big “and” – my husband is not in agreement with any more expanding on the garden).  I think he’s right because in the fall I hand cut everything back, and it takes time and energy and multiple trips to the compost site.  But … today I looked at the Aureomarginatas and they have seed pods already.  Last weekend there were no seed pods, but today there are.

Oh bother! 😏  The bees certainly did their job.  Is this a case where doing nothing (letting them finish seeding) leads to a wonderful something?

What do you all think?
