It is amazing that you can have hostas and cacti so close together when one likes to be moist and in the shade and the other in the full sun and dry.

I have no luck with hostas due to the amount of snails and slugs I got. They eat them before they get to a good size.

Actually the hostas are in shade most of the day and the part where the cacti and yucca are receive sun almost all day.

I noticed some small slugs when we had a few days of rain.

The hostas are beautiful. I have had mine only 1 year and they are so much smaller.

The best way to control slugs is to cut off the bottom 1 1/2" of a plastic pop bottle and put about 1" of beer in it. Put one or two in the damp shade and watch the drunks drown. Seems like a waste of good beer, but I use the cheap stuff so it is not much of a loss.

Thanks Allen.

I'll have to try out the beer trick.

Nice job on the Hostas Jay

Based on the flowers it seems that you have about two weeks on us here in the Toronto area.
