All these years (over 40) and I just realized I could start my day with a smile, rather than oh dang….

Wouldn’t it be lovely

Here is a whole new definition for container gardening….

Maybe they come with the rain?

Last night it rained, and as I did my morning round of “Slug Watching”, I only spotted three slugs and two of their friends, the Snail. Having removed by any means over 275 slugs (not including Snail friends) I was a little surprised to find four very large new slug inhabitants in my front yard.

So I think they dropped in with the rain. Logical conclusion? No??

How to destroy the Slug Community in your yard? Just pull the string and he explodes. Wonder why I always think of slugs as “he”…..

The Slugs were getting too comfy

Until last week the slugs were getting too comfortable in my yard. I don’t see so many of them any more, so maybe they are getting the idea that Diana’s Garden is NOT a safe haven.

And I wondered why

And I wondered why my beautiful plants were not making it.

The morning of my first slug patrol, I discovered eight good sized slugs on one plant. It’s neighbor had five and I wondered (?) why my garden was not doing so well.

Some 225 or so less slugs, I do have some lovely brown spots where they met their demise, but the rest of the plants are smiling.

Strolling in the Moonlight can be dangerous.

Strolling in the Moonlight can be dangerous.

Over 200 slugs are now Slug Dust in my yard. The Slug Wars continue. The only downside is that where I used Salt, there is a major lacking of green. On the upside, it is the end of summer and it will grow back in the Fall.

Happy Slug Wars!!!!
