I think your Holy Hostas are needing some divine intervention
Depends if those upstairs are gardeners or slug lovers!! Last thing we need is them encouraging the slugs! (Hostas soon to be rotting happily in the compost bin).
I find that once a delphinium is established, the slugs and snails don't bother it.
Hurrumph! You're obviously better at training your molluscs than I am - I still have to stand over my delphinium with a whip in one hand and a stool in the other!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Don't know how you do it Clari. Maybe we shouldn't think of a plant as precious and then it would perform better. I'm just off to feed the creeping buttercups. Fingers crossed it works both ways
Artjak, its just getting the delphiniums to a grown up enough stage to establish thats the problem. I've got two dozen seedlings. Eternal vigilance is needed.

Amazing what a bag of builders sand can do for the garden!
