    We also have hedgehogs, frogs and toads helping in the slug battle @wilderbeast 😊  .., and the majority of our hostas are on the terrace right next to the hedgehog feeding station. However the  H. Blue Angels are up on a raised bed with little hedgehog access. 
    We have H. Hadspen’s Blue in the front border which gets no protection from me and virtually no attention from the molluscs ... but I do sometimes find a big fat toad lurking in that bed, so I thing he’s helping me with that bed 😃

    I went out with a torch last night as one clump was being attacked. Found about 8 MASSIVE snails lurking above the reach of Spikey and chums.

    Currently my best looking hosta, most are only just getting into there stride. Think this was our 1st hosta bought years ago, it had more different homes than I can possibly remember
