Just done early morning slug patrol. One of the main attractions for the whoppers, at the moment, seems to be hemerocallis. You don't tend to notice that slugs have been at them because they don't actually make holes in the leaves, though you can see their trails on the blooms and buds during the day.
A couple of days ago I posted about a wascally wabbit that has been eating my sweet peas and i wanted to know what the benefits of having Buggs around, other than a good source of protein.
Yesterday arriving home from work i had found him dead in the garden, the cause of death is eluding me because of the lack of puncture wounds, blood and ripped out fur. A part of me is doesn't care that he's dead because of they way i have been brought up (Shooting and Ferreting) but the part will miss him.
Feeling nice and refreshed after an early night . Just been watching the antics of our cheeky squirrel running along the back fence. The bird table is empty so I presume he's been on a dawn raid. There seems to be a distinct lack of birds this morning - sure I read somewhere that they come into moult this time of year and keep a low profile while waiting for their new feathers.
It's sad about the rabbit but expect there will be dozens more to step into the breach !
May venture outside in a bit in long pants and long sleeves. I was reading up on horseflies yesterday to find out more about the little bxxxxxr that bit me . They are disgusting. I have 2 holes in my leg now .
Talking of snails I have just been browsing the T & M website for ideas for next year and found some seeds for Snail Vine. I have never heard of it. Very pretty climber related to the bean family, but the name is a bit off putting, Mind you better to grow snails than have to get rid of the real thing.
The poor old rabbit - off to the happy munching ground in the sky. he'll do less damage there than in your garden
Jean Riley -Any sort of insect seems to bite me, so you have my sympathy, my OH just says "Oh they never bite me", bully for him! it's not funny when you swell up and itch

It's only the Dairycrest website. Otherwise known as the milkman!
Just back in from snailing, I got another large haul tonight, where are they all coming from.
The e-mail notification is back -and how

Weed and feed formulation is poisionous to rabbits-he has been grazing on the grass

Glorious sunshine, I thought it was supposed to be wet today
68 emails is this a record?
I keep finding holes in plants but when I go out at night there are no slugs on them
My arm is still swelling and itching, savalon helps a bit any other solutions?
I have been bitten too-I now possess a third nipple
-sting relief is the only thing that works
Spent a happy few minutes deleting e-mails
The foreacast seems to be on constant change -the men said it would be a wet week but the sun is beating down
Any ideas why this is called a snail vine?
Saw massive slugs on lawn this morning creeping back home after a night on the tiles
Becks-does the milkman whistle, rattle crates and be called Ernie?
