Looks great, well done. Perfect Hosta, how do you protect it?
Slugs love them. This little garden was infested with them to begin with. I put a little slug pellets around them when they first come up.
Then go out for 5 minute in the morning, mainly over spring to hunt the slugs down. I just toss them into the Brown garden waste bin.
The first few year I was pulling out half a dozen or more a day. But each year I have seen less and less of them. I think I have probably picked out less then 20 this year so far. So I really only look for them once or twice a week over summer. Every day or second day in spring.
First thing in the morning is a good time to catch them, and they are usually not far from these hostas.

Gold job Gerard! Can I suggest that you take a look at 'ice babes ' problem with her garden? She needs help!
Looks great Gerard, lots of lovely buds on the rhodie
All of the larger shrubs is this photo is the very same you may spot in some of the photos from four years ago. None of them cost me more than £10.
The main shrubs there is hebe, cordiline, fatsia japonica. The large overhanging plant at the back is achemilla mollis. Sorry about spelling.
I still love gardening and I am learning loads since we moved into our house with our little garden.
It's looking really good too. Lovely healthy looking plants .
Now you need to move and get a bigger plot!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
