Re: Anti-Slug "carpet"?


Hi Ginny...update on the daphne, it's still alive!! so maybe there is hope
for the poor thing...I have some of your irises blooming and the tree peony
is setting buds already :)

What a nice time to leave, when I come home, there will be so much more new
growth...I have been spending every free moment out in the yard and looking
at all those empty pots I will be filling with annuals when I get back.

Your slugs there are so much bigger than ours, I still prefer the ammonia
and water spray for mine...Mardi picks them up with her fingers!! YUCK!!
