I like the grouping. What have you done with the slugs and snails?

Anget, since I placed these Hostas by the North facing wall, on the block paving, the S&S seem to have given up!

On a negative note though, I have found that horrible fat slugs like to hide under the two Catmint plants by the path.
I am now wise to this and remove them daily. Laughs hysterically as she walks away with them in a pot, heading for the green waste bin!!

Amy, that's Brian, who appears every year to show the others snails he's in charge! :o)

Do you think I need to get out more??

That's a very attractive grouping Shirley. I also think Brian is doing an excellent job...I don't suppose you hire him out do you? :-))

Well observed, Amy!
I do like Brian, Shirley. I think the snails and slugs are fast becoming Enemy No.1 this year and driving us all slightly crazy....

No Julia, Brian is mine, all mine! He's an original ceramic snail from the Isle of Wight.

Agreed Anget, more slugs than I've ever had in the garden before.

Very attractive collection, Shirley…I was thinking..are your snails still flying high out of the garden?☺️
The ceramic snail is a lovely addition to your hosta display.
