Most decidedly horrible...  :tongue2:

I've not had much experience of slugs munching tomatoes... but I guess that might have a nibble given the chance  >:(
Never keep your wish-bone where your back-bone ought to be.

Well spotted though, otherwise all you'd've had by tomorrow morning'd be a load of stalks!

Its what every gardener has nightmares about  :lol:
If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

Ah that's what im doing wrong i should be eating the grass not the veg  :nowink:  Kill it before it kills your veg. Scissors chop them in half really well and you can wipe the murder weapon clean in a jiffy.
Thanks

Depends on how big the slug is, but leave it for its mate's to see and that works wonders

One thing's for sure, slugs will never make it onto the endangered species list.
I started out with nothing.....and I've still got most of it.
