I've been harvesting my tatties as and when needed and most have been fine till I got to the last few and I have found loads like this. Some that haven't been covered properly and some that are deep down, I assumed slugs what do you recon?

Eggs won't be in the tatties the slugs will have already laid them in the soil. Waiting for the next crop!!Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poetComment

Are the eggs large and translucent yellow? Because I upended a pot, found a large orange slug under it with eggs. Chucked the whole lot out of the greenhouse.Comment

Slug and snail eggs are usually white, translucent and varying in size from quite small to about 5mm across. They are usually in batches of 20-100 and often just below the surface of the soil. I have not seen yellow ones but it is possible that orange slugs could lay yellow eggs.
There do seem to be a lot of very large slugs around this year. I picked 10 up off my friend's garden the other day without even looking for them just after it had rained.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard NimoyComment

I've also found some massive slugs. in fact I looked out of bedroom window other day and that someone had let there dog poop on my grass - when I went out to clean it up (or I'd forget and get splattered by lawn mower) it was actually 4 big slugs heading out for dinner in my flower bed! Their reservation end in the recycling bin!!Comment
