I'm watching over my two little hostas like a very nervous mother hen. I know they won't grow here and am prepared for them to be annuals, but slugs? no way. I really love 'Patriot' the other one not so much, but I still keep Sluggo on hand and on the ground, and in the pot. Rabbits and deer are not a problem. I have a lot of lizards but they apparently don't bother with the plants - what do they eat, anyway? So unless squirrels, possums, raccoons, or coyotes want them, I guess they're ok. The dog hasn't even tried to take a bite - he gets on this horticultural kick once in awhile and decides to sample the plants.
This afternoon I had my usual visit from the frittalary(sp?) b'fly, hummers going for a salvia 'Primrose Pearl', two bees and one ladybug, along with birds I've never even seen before - and where is my camera?
again.
