Maybe I'd have more mixed emotions if these large, fast-moving, four legged slugs ate my plants on a regular basis.

We had a mother with twins here last year. They like my apple trees. I left my gate open by mistake on my squash bed and they came in and ate all my crookneck squash plants to the ground. You have a much more hospitable attitude than I do. My problem is that there is a lot of wild native browse for them, things they should want to eat, but they prefer my hard-grown garden plants instead. Oh, and I counted 5 for much of the summer.

When I open the slider, it sometimes startles them so much, they jump up in the air. Fun to watch!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
