Almost forgot to mention – check out the Saturday Guardian this weekend. There’s edited highlights of Slug Watch in the gardening pages and a picture taken in the garden pre-sheep attack.

I LOVE the slug watch article in yesterday’s Guardian. I found myself feeding the slug and snail population in our tiny urban garden last year. It happened by mistake when a large bag of dried cat food burst as I was carrying it into the house. Did my best to gather it up but finally gave up and brushed a lot of it into the corners of the raised beds. (slovenly I know BUT….) Then I noticed my slippery friends were feasting on the cat food so I continued to feed them and they seemed to give up on the rest of the garden.
Thanks Dorothea. That’s really interesting. Another great distraction method!
