The weather has been so lovely the past few days, and Brian bought a new truck, so I made him drive me to the nursery so I could buy a bush to replace the one damaged by the heavy snow this past winter. I bought a hydrangea and a foxglove, both are shade lovers and will be planted in the front yard.
I have a plan to tear out the old rotten landscaping lumber in the front yard and replace it with a short stone retaining wall. This will take a few weeks, but my ultimate goal is to have a small curve to the front of it which I will fill with a row of hostas. The problem with hostas and my yard is that we have a bit of a slug problem and there are few things slugs love more than hostas.
But I will not let the pests deter me! I will be armed and ready with my neem oil. If that does not work I will take more drastic measures. By whatever means necessary!
Do you hear that evil mollusks? You will rue the day you slime your way onto my plants.
*shakes fist*
Every yard should have a row of hostas. The slugs SHALL NOT WIN.
