Every night 30 to 50 new offenders enroll in the SLUG REHAB program. The first night is a ‘drying out’ process. We take them off their favorite foods…cabbages, collards, marigolds and especially bee-loving plants like sunflowers, wall flowers, daisies, and salvia. We dump them in the woods where they can feast on pine needles. Repeat offenders spend a night in the ‘slammer’ (freezer) where it’s guaranteed they won’t be back…and we don’t waste any beer on them.

Note: No slugs were harmed in the making of this blog.
I was looking for something good to say about slugs, how they fit into the circle of life, prove invaluable to humanity or something like that when I came upon this blog… The Four Slugs of the Apocalypes
The gritty truth of gardening!
Gritty and slimy. After I picked all these up at about 11:30 at night, I placed them in the light in order to get a photo. Then I had to wait until they started moving. It took about 20 minutes, but while they were moving you could actually hear the ooze stretching and separating. I thought about taking a video to also get the sound, but who would want to listen to it…?
Haha, the only way to look at them – with humour! Yes, I even talk to them while collecting them 🙂 Anyway all the effort is paying off here. But my goodness there are some fantastic looking specimen around!
And yes I can at times also hear them move in the garden, or even chew.
