Yup, it'll be slugs..you can buy slug traps at the dollar store. Also some people lay a roll of copper around the rim of their plant, slugs won't cross copper

if you met him which is a lovely idea, he would be funny, charming & would say not one thing wrong. you would l;ike him I am sure. but to me, he says what he wants & when, ya know??/
but honestly if I gave him a good reason of why I wanted the copper, he would likley give it to me, but me just take & use it, not a good idea.

Is that a Cleome Sheri? Very nice. Sure looks like cleome to me. I dug up some babies that sprouted this year on the walk to my driveway - odd thing is I haven't had plants near there for at least 2 summers now - those seeds kept for that long - wow! I potted them up for my deck - haven't grown them in a pot yet. The first 2 days they wilted, but now they are looking nice and firm and upright! Go CLEOME! Carol - your second hosta - June Hosta is GORGEOUS! Very nice pictures!

Look Everyone !!!..... I took this picture the other day, & forgot to post it. ![blush blush](https://agardenersforum.com/forum/images/graemlins/default/redface.gif) This is a purple coneflower that I have kept going since my 30 yr old DD was 15. I even made sure I had starts when we moved. :wink: She brought starts home from a nursery that she was working at---saved them from the compost pile. I was so afraid that they had died out last year, ![nervous nervous](https://agardenersforum.com/forum/images/graemlins/default/scaredy.gif) but nope--they were just slow to come back. I will be sure to save seed from this bunch in the fall, for in case they do die out in the future. ![[Linked Image]](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff68/JunieGirl_2007/Blooingfine6-23-10003.jpg)
