For a great many years this area was shaded all day
by the tall bamboos and overgrown with the
Rhododendron 'Cornish Red' which had layered itself
into a thicket. Cutting back the Rhododendron and
the bamboos has let in a considerable amount of
light; enough to create a 'woodland garden'. However,
slugs and snails are a big problem here and have to
be poisoned. The hedgehogs cannot eat enough to
make a difference, and I do not want to poison
anything but molluscs. The logs holding the pots of
Hostas steady in the wind also hide slug-bait which
the hedgehogs cannot reach. Hopefully the slug
problem is solved. Taking centre stage is our
tortoiseshell cat 'Pansy'.
