Spanish Slugs

[Lumpy]

It appears that I am now the proud guardian of these horrible little (not so) critters.



I spotted one yesterday, during the day about 4ft from the kitchen door.

How do you control these beasties?

Come on fess up who else has them?

Ewwww, Lumpy that's 'orrible ..........

This monster was over the field by me, but don't think it's a Spanish one - he wasn't sporting a matador suit ~ or indeed a flamenco dress or even clacking its maracas .........

But still nasty and B I G ........

You could go all cheffy ...... Eat slugs in tomato sauce, says television chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall - Telegraph

Oh oh oh OH!!!! Nooooooooo, that's just so very, very WRONG, BB on anyone's scale of wrong things ...............

My one looked like that Susie - it was a similar size but far more orange.

And BB....................go forth and.......

Susie I reckon that's a youngster, also they come in slightly different colourations.

I've had the odd one or two or twenty this year to the extent I have 5mm green canes sharpened at one end with a pencil sharpener stuck in planters around the garden. Every time I see one I spear it and leave on a concrete slab, the birds soon shift the remains.

Oooer, Pots, d'ya really think it's a Hispanic brethren ........? It wasn't proper orangey but bladdy B I G !!!

I'm impressed with your 'despatch' method .............

If you're growing sweet peas, the stems left after 'bud drop' also make good slug skewers

Think I have these bad boys - am ruthless, kill 'em all always pleased when I find eggs & leave them out for the birds...

Slugs seem to turn the most mild mannered gardener into a raging genocidal despot.

The bucket is ready for tonights slug hunts..........a whole container of salt (one of the big ones) dissolved in water..........tongs ready and willing...........exsluggieate....exsluggieate.......exsluggieate.......


I am however, disgracefully happy that I am NOT the only one with these galloping around the garden.
