    I think your Holy Hostas are needing some divine interventionimage

    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).

    The sand will explain why the slugs/snails didn't attack it when it was young and vulnerable!!!  Good instinctive gardening skills there Clari!!! image

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

    I find that once a delphinium is established, the slugs and snails don't bother it.image

     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! image

    I'd love to see that Doveimageimage

    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 waysimage

    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.
