I did Pdoc. A raised looks like the way to go for mine so I can get them the moisture retention they need and make the surface uninviting to the bloody slugs. 7 more hosta crowns rescued yesterday with hardly any leaf left and all of those teeny, as tho they'd just been transplanted. They're in the IC ward now.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Back from Waitrose. Time for a cup of real tea. @punkdoc, thanks for the heads up, I'll catch it on iPlayer. @Obelixx no complaints here due to lack of rain . I'd much rather have sun and heat. I don't have a water meter so I'll be watering with gay abandon. A bit of pottering for me this morning then there's a sun bed with my name written all over it which needs my attention this afternoon.
Fingers crossed, but no sign of our little visitors for 2 days now. I've just watched the Hostas on Beechgrove. I feel so inadequate. "500 varieties"??? I've not quite hit 200 yet. Must try harder.
I really hope it stays fine for you doc. July's always a bit iffy though. As long as it's reasonable [semi dry!] for you, I'm sure you won't mind. I always remember my older daughter's birthday parties being tricky - children with goosebumps and looking miserable in the wind as I vainly tried to keep them outside to play games! Who's gay abandon Hosta - and does she mind helping you....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hopefully heading up in July, probably just as the weather breaks.

I always thought she sounded like a dating site.
