Hostas

I love my collection of hostas and am delighted that I have, for the most part, won this years battle with the slugs. You would have thought that with the wet, cold conditions they would be like lace by now but, with the exception of handful of leaves they are in pretty good shape. My secret weapon isn't pesticides but gravel, they absolutely hate it, and it's so easy to weed between the plants. That's my type of gardening.
