I'm a Pacific Northwest coast area gardener. Enjoy the process greatly. Prefer traditional and English flower garden styles. Happy gardening!

Just lucky so far @franshinegee I actually haven't had many slug issues this year. Hope it stays that way...knock wood. 😊

I love the color of these leaves! I'm so drawn to plants with different colors to them, and this one is gorgeous!

@dreadsgirl80 I've read they are touchy. I've not had a problem. They need moist soil and are susceptible to slugs. I've found watering early morning kept them at bay. The leaves turn greener as they age.

I can't do any outdoor growing here, I'm afraid. I'm limited to what I can grow in containers inside.

@dreadsgirl80 is that due to the heat? I love my indoor plants as well. Yours look great.

No, it's due to the fact that I live in an area largely populated by people that have no respect for other people's belongings. I have a patio, but no fence, and anything I leave outside tends to disappear pretty quickly. 🙁

@dreadsgirl80 I'm so sorry to hear that. Glad you can enjoy your inside "gardens". 😃

Yep. Their loss. It could be a lot prettier around here, if people would just be respectful. I'll just enjoy my gain, even if it is their loss. Life's too short.
