"I envision my rose of sharon getting that large one day...if I can just figure out how to keep the deer from pruning every branch to the nub every chance they get. I am going to have to douse it with liquid fence when it is too large to cage in…"

denise hickman commented on Janet Mills's group Hostas"So what is the best way to keep slugs from eating up my hostas? this happens every yr and want to get a handle on it this yr while they look so healthy!"
denise hickman commented on Priscilla Bryant, zn5 IL's blog post Catch falling peonies!"I also use metal rings, comes in roll w/ squares about 2" x 4" . Just cut off length to surround plant and then reuse every yr. Just put them in ground when plants start to come up, easier than when the plants are already up and blooming."
