Anyone care to share which of the more unusual plants you've grown have been chomped to the ground by slug/snail beasties? As in, plonking an established plant in the ground and it being eaten and gone in a few days, rather than just nibbled round the edges. I'm fed up of buying plants and having them devoured, as though I'd just bought them a brand new hosta.
My list, so far: welsh onions, Delphiniums (I just had to try..), Lamium (some pink cultivated type), Jasione Laevis, Yarrow, new shoots of daylilies, new shoots of chocolate cosmos, Dahlias, Gaillardia, Senettii. Campanula glomerata.
Also heard on GQT that they'll head straight for Erythroniums, which is a shame as I was about to buy some.
They certainly have Delphiniums in their favourite food group around here!

Why can't they be trained to eat grass, we wouldn't need to mow the lawn then.
