Hollyhock Alcea rosea 'Halo White'

Looking great! What is eating the leaves?

Not sure, so much is being eaten in my garden this year Pixi.

:( I havent had many slugs but there are hundreds of snails!!!

Night after night before it turned dry I would find 40-50 slugs and sometimes double that, even climbing the walls. The snails I found higher up on the plants. Not one Dahlia has survived this years and my short Shastas have been so badly eaten that only one has flowered. I even thought I found a pile of cat poo on the front door step till it moved! It was a heap of slugs.

Oh waht a shame! omg you really are overrun! Have you tried the beer in jars? I found that good, but then they knew for miles around there was a party at 57! lol Now I jsut use pellets and if I find any pick them up and put them ina jar with a lid till it sfull then into the wheely bin!

I have been dropping them in beer everynight. But thankfully its turned dry for the last few nights as it was beginning to make me feel quite sick.

Drc having the same trouble here, hundreds of the blighters, have ruined most of the dahlias, has been a very bad year for bugs......

Its really awful, as they do so much damage DD.

Let us hope next year we have the seasons at the right time, we were at a village open gardens this afternoon and got stranded in one of the gardens, when the heavens opened, we had thunder lightning and hail stones, she very kindly let us shelter in her house, the road was flooded, leaving huge puddles, never seen anything like it.

Really odd weather

wow stunning !! sorry I am behind on Goy

Thanks Paul

Lovely colour, yes somethings eating mine too.
We were having a snail race the other night up the patio window!!!!!!!, 6 of the things, don't know where they were heading no plants on the roof,lol.

I find lots of snails high up behind the trellis, after the clematis and hanging baskets too.
