I'm almost tempted to try a bit of a hosta just to see what all the fuss is about! I'm afraid I've got a little heavy-handed with the snails and slugs in my garden. Let's just say that it involves beer and isn't very kind...
I know what you mean, Antonia. These are the only hostas I grow, they generally have the protection of something sharp like eggshells, and a ribbon of copper tape round the pot. Slipped up this year, but, so far, not too bad .... and yes, I've done the beer thing too. And the salt. And - well, you know the kind of thing I mean ;)
I've disabled comments on Joanna's Food (the spam was wearing me down). But you can comment on most of the posts here at my new blog, anenglishkitchen.com See you there!

They've certainly been having a bit of a feast, haven't they?!
ReplyDeleteI have completely given up on hostas. But perhaps you need to meet my friend Carrie. She has a zero tolerance approach to snails that scares even me!
ReplyDeleteThe toads are eating the snails and slugs this year.
