I agree with Cheryl. They look like the crown is planted too deep. I would raise them up a bit if it were me. I usually cover my hosta beds with leaves in the fall once they are all dormant. Mid-late March I uncover and once the eyes are up good and just beginning to leaf out I pour an ammonia & water mix(1 part ammonia to 3 parts water) around the base once a week for as needed to control slugs. I have a dog who eats anything so I do not use slug bait.
You can also slug hunt at night with a flashlight. I have a small jar or bowl with ammonia and pick off the slugs and place them in the ammonia to kill them.
Hostas can tolerate more sun then most people think, though some do burn up easily and the blue ones tend to "melt" in the heat of July and August.
