@ Caroline - that was why I took the photo, while it still looks perfect, I don't expect it to stay that way for long, those leaves have only emerged this week. My big problem is snails, they can lay my garden to waste in short order.

A garlic solution sprayed over leaves is supposed to put them off as is copper round the pot, they don't like going over it, it chemically does something with their slime. So I have some copper wire I'm going to wrap around the vulnerable pots.

Snails mountaineer too - my habit was to pluck them off and throw them outside the 6' wall, but when I had a couple with distinctive shells, I noticed that I re-captured the same ones every night, they were actually making it over the wall back in. So it was no more Mr Nice Guy!

Those are all such beautiful pics. Especially the strawberry flower!
But boo - you have to tell me - HOW do you get to grow hostas?

I can't even think about planting them out and even when I've tried them in pots on top of a brick wall, the supermountaineering slugs still get up there!

Please?
