I would assign getting lettuce at any time of the year - any attempt to grow salad leaves or hostas results simply in providing a soup kitchen for slugs (since I try to garden organically and am rather fond of hedgepigs slug pellets are a no no.. and the eco friendly alternatives require a degree of vigilance I am not always able to maintain). I do have some roses still in the front garden which is rather fab - and I hope due to the sheltered south facing site rather than global warming.
