Things are starting to grow quickly now in the garden. It has been too wet to do any weeding so now it is depressing how much the weeds are taking over… although many of them do look pretty.
Meanwhile my hostas are growing back.
I am really pleased with this. I love hostas but every hosta that I have planted, and there have been a lot, has been eaten by slugs and snails. I have used all kinds of barriers and treatments, but they all got killed off. This time I have two type in a pot with copper tape around it and a water moat and gravel around it and no overhanging branches or plants. Finally I am winning the slug and snail war. The hostas are looking good.
Also in bloom is my favourite plant my flaming pieris. I have not added an more acid compost but it seems to be thriving in my garden.
I know that spring is here when I see my pieris in bloom. It puts a smile on my face no matter how glum I feel.
Well the sun is out and I need to do some sunbathing/mediatation by lying with my cat next to my pond. It is finally looking good and clear after I found a treatment for blankweed and algae that has worked.
Now I can watch the newts and clouds above. Life is good.
