Cindy, this is fairly typical for GS this time of year. Is this a newly acquired plant or have you had it for over a year? Couldn't help but notice how good a slug fest you're having.......

It was purchased in early June. And, yes, I've been battling the slugs. Notice the shell remains of one I got with the Bug-Geta!

i have a GS that i bought in the walmart 1.50 pot section.. looks the same on a few of the leaves, but . i personally *AND IM NOT TRAINED* dont think it is... but.. I could be wrong

shells on slugs.. NOPE. ..

you have SNAILS and slugs ... i have never researched snail cures .... i suppose its the same ..

but that might be why you might feel like you are losing the slug battle ....

i see a normal GS... with its NORMAL color change happening ....

the new leaves look a little short ... which means EITHER:

1] they havent elongated yet

or,

B] its planted too deep .... check your depth .. the crown should be right at the soil level ...

if that is OK... ignore your babe.. it is fine ... next year.. it will be better.. cant beat this one back with a stick ....

Oh, Ken, of course, I meant snails! We have some slugs, but I notice snails much more often! I'll put out the Bug-Geta, and I'll see lots of empty shells lying around within a day or two.
I tried to be diligent about not planting too deeply, but I'll double check anyway.
I know many rave about GS, but so far I haven't seen what deserves the raves. I'm sure it just needs to mature, but the two I do have, planted in separate spots, just look ratty to me. No offense to anyone as I've only seen pics of mature ones. I'll try to be patient until it shines for me, too.
Thanks!
