Hosta Now

blue hosta after snail attackThe blue hosta is not so bad as I had feared. So it looks as if the slug and snail treatments might have had some effect. It was certainly much worse than this last year.


I am left wondering that it might not have been snail problems after all, but wood pigeons. Anyway, whatever it was, I am glad I don't have to suffer the humiliation of a collander-like plant all season.

'Gardening Which' did an article on slug and snail resistant hostas in their recent May edition. Although some were better than others, nothing really worked perfectly.
