Photo on Sunday 2015-24

One of the many snails and slugs living in my garden. When it's wet outside, I really have to pay attention to where I walk, so I won't be squishing them all the way! I even had to comb the baby ones out of Miss Oswin's fur!

  1. I don't have slugs fortunately but snails en masse ! They eat off everything invoices in the letterbox included. I have to put a product on my flowers otherwise there would be no plant left in our garden. Last time I collected 150 shells and then I gave up counting !

    I had a dreadful slug problem in my Sydney garden... until a blue tongue lizard took up residence. Interestingly, neither Jade nor Jasper worried about the lizard (they are about 18"long and 5"wide) and I am grateful to them, 'cos it made a banquet of all those slithery critters.

    Like Gattine, a lost a fair few bills to them - I even once had to call up the electric folk as the entire $$$amount had been munched and I had no idea what I owed them!!! YAM xx

    1. That would be an idea: get a lizard! Not sure how Miss Oswin would react, or any of the neighbours!

      Fortunately I hardly ever get bills in the mail, most come online or are direct debit. Plus I have yet to see a slug on my mailbox!

  3. Ew! Mom hopes none get in our furs! Mom says they try to eat her tomatoes. Mostly we have snails.

    1. Fortunately they were only baby ones in her fur! Easy to get out. Still yucky though!

  5. I've been out with the slug pellets otherwise there would be no vegetation in the garden. There's little enough as it is. When I returned from Canada so much had been eaten that I think they must have held a huge snail festival in the garden whilst I was away!
