It's great to have professional advice. How many of your hostas are effected? It's a serious business this virus. Btw, sorry to confuse you with the two Hosta threads. I thought the last one had kind of had it's day, especially with the title but I so love having a Hosta thread so that we can see pictures of everyone's hostas and keep learning about these fantastic plants, hence the new general thread just called Hostas.
CD - look fwd to seeing your pics of Hosta Corner- saw a beautiful display of Praying Hands at NEC Garden show and of others - want a bigger garden now - I'll have a chat with the neighbours - LOL
hi all see this forum has been deed for a long time now. hope you are all well and just busy with work. As you all know I got some nice hostas at the beginning of the year and two that I really wanted were blue blue Hawaiian and titanic both of the hostas were ment to be huge.
well I got a problem with them they are both ment to be slug and snail resistant, (and yes I do know that dose not mean slug proof LOL) well they are small and eaten to shreds all my there hostas are just fine and growing very well indeed.i have tried egg shells, slug pellets and bear traps none has worked my to prise hostas are just terrible I could cry can some one here help maybe Hostafan1 if he sees this post
Haven't seen Hostafan on here for a while - was asking after him just the other day I hope he's ok and is enjoying his garden.
I've got big chunky hostas that have never been troubled by slugs before, but this year they're quite lacy in places.
I think the thing is that after last winter (or rather the lack of it) slugs have increased in size and number - hopefully we'll get a proper winter this year and it will reduce them to more manageable proportions.

it was my mistake, Not paying attention at an early hour.
It's just 2 of a group of 3, but they were split from one clump, so it's nighty night for the 3 of them.
Is that a Praying Hands hosta, OP?
Very pretty.
Just got a praying hands and you are right - they are lovely
Oh, your garden looks lovely Tray14. The praying hands looks very unusual - it's great! Your other hostas are doing well
I'm just waiting for my last one to open properly and then I'll post you a photo of "Hosta Corner"
