One of my container dahlias was doing really badly. What was growing was getting chewed.
I tipped out the dahlia and spotted half a dozen slugs lurking half way down the inside of the pot😡
In London. Keen but lazy.

    Even after the dahlia plants reach more than 3 feet in height, they are still not free from slug attack :/

    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth :)
