the good side to this weather

[SelkirkAlex]

just to prove that there is always a silver lining.....
just finished an inspection outside and I am pleased to note not a caterpillar in sight and the late flourish of cabbage whites have disappeared and all the usual slug hiding spots are well and truely iced, you don't get arctic slugs do you?

[lottie dolly]

have you googled to see if any exhist if so what to but on them,apart from a winter coat,

[chris_m]

Well, they put salt on the roads to stop them freezing, d'ya reckon that'd work with arctic slugs too?

The little brown horrors are still alive and slithering on our plot, and we've hit minus four several times, now....

While digging in the garden I'm finding some rather large cocoons in the dirt. Other than that the bugs are hiding which is a good thing.

^^^^^^^^A few really good frosts sort out a shed load of pesky problems...

And if there is a good covering of snow my garden looks as tidy as everyone else's garden

[SelkirkAlex]

sobbing uncontrolabley, if harsh scottish winters don't kill them we are all doomed, doomed I say!

Some slugs eat other slugs,I hope we've got a fair share of the carnivorous slugs so they'll just eat each other,don't worry!
