Re: Hostas.

Lovely Pauline I used to have hosta's but the slugs got them

I have now designed a new area in the garden with grave, covered weed protection, a little fence and tall pots and intend to put some hostas on there

I swear they march back here, after depositing them in the field, they can smell my Hostas,

They must have been hungry last night, looks like I’m back on patrol

Thanks Meg, that’s a good idea, Hostas are so easy to keep, look at this leaf, it wasn’t like that yesterday, out on patrol in the early hours, I said to Muddy, I’m sure they march back here, after I’ve deposited them in the field, little beggars.

Couldn’t upload that leaf again, I’ve put it in my reply to Muddy.

Kazz, I have fence planters, I watched one do exactly the same thing, this one was on it’s way home through a gap in my fence, leaving it’s trail of shiny slime over my fence...

I will be in wait .in the early hours tomorrow, i was too tired last night ,therefore forgot to set my alarm.


Freefall onto your Hosta...that made me..😂🤣😅

Re: Hostas.

one of these days we will find that slugs have the key to eternal life or health, but until then they are public enemy no. 1!

He had to freefall I commandeered his parachute but seems my Hosta was too tempting.

We have couple of Hostas in pots, with gravel in the pot and standing on a gravelled area..... but they still manage to get there. Cans slugs fly?
