Slug Defenses

I've just popped over to The Plot to close up the poly tunnel  for the night (doors open today as it was warm and I wanted the INSECTS TO POLLINATE THE TOMATOES),

I took a moment to check out that little pile of cabbage leaves I mentioned in my last post; the ones that were to attract the slugs and thus, save my growing cabbages.

Here then is my haul of slugs, all of them after a yummy meal of cabbage.

I chucked them into Andys place (the 'rock garden'), I know he wont mind.

I can't kill them.

We all get hungry, it's not a capital offence.

Try A Taste Of

In a bid to halt the legions of slugs that march slitheringly across the Plot every night, I have turned to drink.

Cider, as in the cheapest, strongest stuff, added to water is a fantastic temptation to slugs and teenagers alike.

Failing that, ancient booze, that's turned the colour of urine, and no longer wanted by your friends, is ideal, as it's also a favourite of both slugs and teenagers and is free of charge.

Martini, so sophisticated, and just the thing for the discerning slug. 

It's no longer wanted and must be over 20 years old.

Would you risk drinking it?

But, then again, you're neither a slug nor a teenager.

Poured into a shiny receptacle it is the epitome of sophistication. 

Bling is the thing for my slimy friends.

In the poly tunnel, the peppers have the Martini treatment and my eyes water when I walk back in, later. 

It smells like Christmas.

Happy slugs.

Happy me.

At last a positive use for BIANCO.
