Thank you Larisa. As soon as I saw the leaves I knew it was a Hosta but I hadn't noticed them in the video. Sadly I have to many slugs and snails for them to grow in my garden.

I spend a lot of time my self making sure it is near impossible for slug & snail attack on my Hoster'S I have mine in large pots on small feet so there is little contact with the ground then make sure the leaves are not making contact with other plants ........Its almost as hard as keeping a squirrel off your nuts (for the birds);)................Ps love that snow man and his dog:) they are Just great!

This deciduous rhododendrons. For the rhododendron acidic soil, we do: the old needles from the forest, peat and sand. I add a special fertilizer in the spring.

It is necessary to cut the grass. But the birds did a lot of nests in currants. They are afraid of the noise.
This is an old nest.

There are hand-scythe. But when we were in town, hares came and brought their offspring. Small hares are always a lot. They are hard to spot in the grass and they do not want to run away. Mow dangerous, it can cause injury. Must wait.

One hare fell under the scythe. Hare is not visible in the grass. Fortunately, the wound was small. I treated his ear. And he sent back.
