Challenges in the Garden

I have different challenges 

in the garden this year, 

compared to drought years

 in the past.

One is slugs

with the recent

wet weather.

The pulmonaria

bloomed well

this year,

but the leaves

are getting hit now.

The hosta are being eaten also.

But I'm not doing 

anything about it

except letting

nature run

its course.

My miniature rose

alternates between

blooming and 

being eaten alive.

I have resorted

to organic insecticide.

The daisies near

the drain from

the eaves above

are an uneven height.

I'm not sure if it is

from the rain runoff

or the landscaper

spraying for weeds

in the drain area.

The hydrangea blooms

are hidden down in 

the leaves, but I have

been cutting some stems

away to reveal them

and allow some sun in.

The salvia spikes and

the petunias (drooping)

are having a hard time.

I've added a

petunia fertilizer

which is supposed

to encourage blooms

along the stems

but it doesn't

seem to help.

I tried seaweed fertilizer

and it does help

for a couple days.

I've cut the petunias back.

What to do next?

Check back later for

progress with the

problem planters.
