  This was my garden in SW France in January 2021 when I moved in.
  
  
  
  This is today in the rain.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

  Hostas just after the big hale storm. This is probably the best they will look this year.

  Looking at your wonderful gardens, I feel the need for GoS. Then I'd have somewhere to post. 

  In London. Keen but lazy.

  I was looking at my Hosta today for ages. 

  
  

  The leaf shape and structure and the shade of green, I think, are so beautiful. 

  
  

  This is my first one. I feel a new obsession starting…..

  @Busy-Lizzie It's good to see your garden looking so fresh and luscious in the rain.

  @pitter-patter and @TheGreenMan What is your secret to make the gastropods keep away from those appetising Hostas?

  My pics of the day, taken between the lovely showers of rain.

  

  Still not sure of the exact name of those Heucheras (pluie de feu ?)

  Luck, I think. 
  

  
  

  They’re in my “nook” which is covered in bark. The only nearby plant is the thuja plicata hedge and some ferns in pots. 

  
  

  I think the slugs prefer to be other places.

  @Papi Jo.  Your garden in one word is beautiful! So much work and planning has gone into it. It certainly gives me inspiration and a lot of others too I'm sure.

  @Papi Jo I’ve put the hosta on that table to give it a better chance. I do check the pot from time to time. I don’t really do anything else. This year there’s seems to be a record number of slugs and snails!
