I'll think of you when I go to quilting guild meetings--especially next May when you should be enjoying "Slugs & Snales &..." We don't have as many of those little critters around here as we did in Kansas City or Seattle.

CopCar,
You are very lucky not too have many slugs and snails where you live. They are rife in the UK and all gardeners curse them constantly. They make trying to grow delphiniums a real trial. As for hostas....
Having made the comment, the next morning I found a slug atop a large container on the back patio. Just one, though, and I don't know how long it had been since the last sighting.

Just the one!?! You are very lucky to find so few of the things around. I hope you managed to dispose of the culprit effectively.
Why, no, as a matter of fact. I pretty much ignored it...it was such a small one.
Hmmm, I would be careful, if I were you. It may be tiny at the moment but by the time it has eaten your prize plants it will be much bigger and then it will have its own babies and the next thing you know you are inundated by them.
