Well we finally got some rain.....

Category: Michele's Garden | Posted: Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:37 am

But along with the 5 inches of rain this week we got lots and lots of SLUGS! And they are not lazy! They are climbing up tomato plants to get to the slowly ripening tomatoes, climbing up bee balm! I HATE slugs. I wonder where my lovely red bellied snake has gone? The garter snakes need to show themselves as well. They need to eat all these destructive, gross creatures!





They love to eat hosta! All 9 of my plants are being munched away!




This slug is over 3 inches long! We almost stepped on him!

AS soon as it dries up I am going to get some Diatomaceous earth, and sprinkle around the base of all the plants in teh vegi garden.
