Was talking with people at another site and we wondered which varieties were really slug resistant. last year was a really bad year for slugs in my garden and some that usually do pretty well were full of holes. But quite a few did really well. For most of these, the latest pics I took was Aug. 9, but last year, some of my hostas were full of holes by that time.

These are the survivors - I'd like to see pictures of what survived best in YOUR gardens.
