I have been out into the back garden this evening to light the greenhouse heaty thing with parrafin.
Walking up the path, I came across a few small slugs.
I had forgotten the feeling that is the organic way of dealing with slugs with my size 4's.
The "snap" the "crack" and the "pop". Not messy, just a constructive feeling that if I hadn't have stepped on them, they would have made their way over to the cabbages that I have loved and nurtured over winter and am hoping for even just a small early crop from.
Funny how every year brings back a different familiar memory!
Last year was the nasty realisation that my toms had all been got by the norty blight.....I am sooooo fussy about cleanliness and poorly plants in my greenhouse this year....OCD even(as MrB says).
We have heavy snow predicted for Sunday from the BBC so I will look forward to icy slugs!......slippery sukkers
