This time last year these #hosta plants had been devastated by slugs or snails.
I don’t know why not this year. I have plenty of snails in the undergrowth.

A couple of years ago I took a variegated leaf from the Hosta and walked into the local #Dulux shop.
‘Can you match these colours please?’
Nice work.

I was contacted about Search Engine Optimisation. Fortunately I had written on the subject. www.miketoft.com/tags/seo/
It led me to check my re-developed site with @astro.build. I know Lighthouse scores are just a metric but it is a useful tool. Not all pages gained 4x 💯 but they were close.
