Flower defenders

By the raised beds in the garden, we have a mass of leaves that is mysteriously especially attractive to snails for their breeding and defecating. L. has long vowed to pull it up...however, recently, it has started to put on these amazing purple flowers, so I'm now petitioning for it to stay.

Armed with my clippers, I set about making the flowers less accessible by trimming back the leaves; L., on the other hand, had even more aggressive plans.

The sound of snails dropping filled the Plant-Salter with glee, but clearly our frog was not amused.
