It's a little fussy Kasy, and the flowers are proper slug caviar, but worth the effort in my opinion.

Very beautiful! I'm still having major problems with snails and slugs, also.

Thanks Delonix! The slimey critters are a real pain at the moment.

I know the feeling. The snails and slugs ate all the leaves on my Pachystachys lutea.

Coffee grounds seem to be doing a good job of protecting the plants in the ground Delonix.

Meanie:
That's a great idea! I should get some free coffee grounds from Starbuck's Coffee.

Just drink more coffee (it gives me an excuse anyway)!

I haven't drank a cup of coffee in more than 25 years.
