Public Enemy No 1

The little slimey creatures are at it again.

I wouldn't mind if they had a little nibble now and then, but no, they've got to have the whole thing. 2 pumpkin plants, 3 lettuce seedlings and damage to my marrow plant. It seems that I go to the bother of raising these vegatables in order for them to come along and have a free supper. They are crafty and all, because they only come out at night. Big ones, little ones, brown ones, black ones, as soon as it's dark, they are there, chomping away on my potential dinner.

But I'm fighting back!

I've got some new batteries for my torch and as soon as it's dark enough, I'll be out in the garden....

Slug hunting!
