Hosta La Vista, Baby!

My hostas are about this size at the moment but the rain has bought them on a bit this week although the wind has been cold. I think that further south they have had it a lot warmer. We have hedgehogs visit at night so I have put a fine sprinkle down but am trying not to use slug pellets and am hand picking the snails. I've decided to take them up the road into the fields. I used to live at Lake on the I.O.W many many years ago. Lovely place to live. I miss the sea.

hi lindak,,,,

what a coincidence, I lived in Lake too until 5 years ago.... in New Rd... yes we are very lucky being so close to the sea.... i hope this Easter weekend seemed sooo busy.

what do you do with the slugs and snails onc you have collected them all??

regards

I have decided to take them up the road to the fields in a bag and let them go.. We lived in Newport Road. Gerry's mum lived there too until Feb last year and then sadly passed away.

What a small world....sorry to labour the point, but I do feel awful using the slug pellets, but I just hate it when they decimate my plants.... do u collect them at night? I do admire you relocating them!

We had to move to Derbyshire because of employment a long time ago but we love it here. Have moved house a couple of times to downsize as we are getting older. Have loved to tackle every garden in a different way according to the size of the ground, and consider the wildlife. We have the hedgehogs visit every night. Just go and have a look at the snails in the morning or evening.
