OH, I thought it was normal for us gardeners to over-do come spring. 
I was crawling after all that nice sunshine yesterday, got tons done
in the garden....good thing it's raining today.  :-)

Hee,hee... amazing isn't it.  I don't know how you "working gals''
ever garden.  I've always been a stay at home mom and home-schooled
my three children for 12 years. Few years ago the oldest moved out,
the younger too in Hi-School... wow.. lots more garden time.. now I
have a garden I don't mind folks seeing.. :-)

Wow, better than chickens perhaps... Do they disturb your plants at
all? Perhaps you can us them AS your slug control altogether. Mother
insists that my son's hedgehog would be much happier outside, as
would I be with her slug control... Hum... Sideways flower pot
covered in moss for a summer house, that just might do.
