I cleared out this fence line of brush, honeysuckle, and dead ash trees last year. Planted cuttings from our mature hostas, some volunteer cedars, a few bags of shade tolerant bulbs, and of course, strawberries. One year's growth and I'm thinking I may have to thin this out in the fall.

Bummer.
Here, they're like weeds!
Slugs There are methods of capture in beer & then drown 'em, or copper layed on the ground. I have salveged copper gutter pieces. The copper produces a minor electrical charge that they avoid. Go online & search. You'll find lots of advice.
How do you keep the rabbits out? ☺

Well, we dont. But we don't have lots of rabbits. We do have lots of cooper's hawks, and a coyote pack in the neighborhood.
@bigpawbullets can i send you some rabbits??
@Donna_I
Oh, and a German Shepherd that considers everything in the fenced back yard to be his.
@bigpawbullets that will do it! ?
What ever you're feeding that bed, the plants really like it.

Nothing. That's what I find interesting. The ground was basically scrub brush and dead hardwood trees. Planting after clearing it out was an "adventure". Lots of roots.
