Bits and Bobs and a suprise!

Wow, gorgeous! I am terrified of buying Hosta's because of the snails and slugs - last one I bought was decimated within weeks! How do you keep them off your hostas? Gorgeous though, looks so tropical.

Do you know what Aneagillis, the hosta in the bed opposite is chewed to bits :( I think these 2 have thicker tougher leave's, I do use pellets, but, no more here than the other bed.. Thanks for your Comment..

How lucky to have a flower on your Trachy, and your hostas are amazing - not a slug or snail hole in sight - well done !

Lovely to see all your exotics again, and guess what I saw the Lysimachia Midnight Sun and fell for it.....great minds again!! fancy you finding a flower on your Trachy, brilliant. What on earth are you feeding your Hostas on they really are enormous, they look great I grow a lot of Hostas, a constant battle though between me and the slugs I have to use the pellets too.

Daisy your bed looks so lush and healthy,lovely display,my mum is a nut for hostas i shall show her your pics.Shes got over 20 varieties !

I know Mariek, I can't believe it, But i think its the resiliance of those 2 hostas thats the secret..
Eee Dd we do seem to choose the same plants, just good taste really lol.. Ive spread 2 lots of chicken pellets in both gardens a couple of weeks apart and one aplication of miraclegrow :)) all of my other hostas have slug damage, some worse than others, even the big daddy in my new raised bed!!! I am Lucky to have a flower on my trachy, even tho its ugly as he** lol...

Hi Whdebor, thanks for your lovely comment, 20 varieties of hosta, wow, how does'e she keep the slugs off? They are fabulous plants, so many different colours and heights, every garden should have them :)))

well my mum certainly does have to use a lot of slug pellets on them and she does have all her hostas in pots dont know if that deters them :) I havent got any hostas myself but we are off to a lovely nursery next week and am hoping to get 1 or 2 myself !

Brilliant Whdebor, and you can split them in a couple of years, also, wait untill autumn you will get loads of bargains, I hardly ever pay full price for plants and garden stuff, including furniture lol..

Love your new hanging baskets, theyre such a nice change from flowers and complement your other planting so well.
Glad you got a nice surprise with your Trachy flower - it sets you up for the rest of the day!.

lovely.. all looking great... ive got my hostas in pots... they dont get eaten now....

Your garden looks nice and fresh ... and that was a nice surprise wasn't it :)

I love surprises like that, it makes it even more special doesn`t it, your plants look fabulous Ydd, those Hostas were a real bargain and they are huge now, I have managed to hang onto mine now and think its down to the amount of frogs in the garden....

YDD you do make me laugh.......(re your trachy!!)
