I am guessing that a pellet has nothing on the experience of a fresh, tender plant – but a bit like microwave dinners – sometimes the easy option just wins ! And its never as good – but at least with ping cuisine it won’t be a last supper – unlike the slugs and the pellets – who will hopefully never gain the benefits of hindsight !

I must say I didn’t realise how you should position slug pellets. I kind of assumed they must taste nicer then the plants, and have been gaily flinging them into the air so they scatter everywhere and ping off the cabbage leaves with merry abandon. It’s amazing the damage even one slug can do to my poor leaves – I’ve had seedlings stripped down to tiny stalks, which has caused certain forbidden words to spill out!

Hello
Well it was a bit of an experiment – some people like to just scan posts – so I was just highlighting the words that if you read just those might still give you the jist of the article ! But I wasn’t sure – so you’ve helped me decide that’s probably not the way to go…. maybe I think I need to think more about subheadings instead……but glad you are still reading despite the rogue tweakings !

Hello
For many gardeners the words ‘sad’ and ‘dead’ could never appear together when being used re slugs !
For them the best plan of attack involves night raids with scecateurs – I think you have to have a strong constitution for snipping slugs – I’m still at the stage when I come over all squeamish picking them up . I have a long way to go !!!

You seem to have a lot of bold text in your writing. Are they supposed to be links, or are you just going a bit random with your style?

I noticed a lot of slugs this weekend, all of then looking sad and bloatedly dead on the path. Presumably it was warm enough to hatch, but cold and wet enough to kill them. Who can say?
