Something I am Thankful for this Year

Euw … I think I’ll garden here happily all summer long. The only advantage to having such a harsh, cold climate is that the slugs are not usually much of a problem.

Your blog is great fun to read!

WOW that thing is HUGE! And I thought our Tomato Hornworms were big!

Thanks for sharing that video. We DO have to be thankful not to have that guy in our garden!

I think this is what ate all of my cabbage family crops last year. They are everywhere in my yard. I tried the beer thing and nothing. My neighbour uses a chemical called Meta with great success. I may succumb to that solution if all else fails.

I love how it is grazing like a deer – rather than sucking holes in leaves like the little slugs do.

WOW! What an excellent subject for a “B” horror flick!

A few years back I stepped out on my front porch to get the mail and stepped on a slug. A BIG slug (not as big as that one, but big enough). And I was barefoot. YUCK!!!!!

Note to Jennifer — I used a product called Garden Safe Slug and Snail Bait around my hostas last year and it worked great. It’s labeled as safe around pets and wildlife.
