YEEUUKK

Aargh ..... no, no, NO!! I'm shuddering.

Yuck, I once picked one up thinking it was a curled leaf on the lawn. I can still be sick at the thought of it.

Oh dear..

I like slugs. I compare them to whales. Very similar. Would never hurt one, or a snail for that matter.

Minibeasts.

Ooooooh you are a wussy lot

I was Vine Weevil hunting for ages, finished sifting the soil and repotted and planted new plants. All looks lovely.

Yesterday after this awful weather I went outside and a pot of Lillies were virtually wiped out, just rotten looking stems. For the first time I realised what I had always thought were little black seeds or nodules were horrible orange Lilly Beetle grubs wrapped apparently in poo for camouflage!! Boy they are hungry little b-----s.

I was just eating some fried mushrooms on toast when I read this. The consistency of the mushrooms are like slugs, so it's put me off!!

I hate Lily Beetles with a passion as well. I took my eye off the ball mid spring and they completely destroyed the Frittilarias (Crown Imperials)

All that was left were a few stumps

Never eaten a slug so can't possibly comment

Non, Slugs are like whales ?? You must have seen mine, they are about that size. They are an endangered species, certainly if they keep munching through my veg garden.

Someone has eaten one, a web site states that Spanish slugs taste bitter, which is why hedgehogs, frog, birds don't eat them.

Kitty, weren't you going to try one ?

It's up there with picking up a flowerpot and a frog landing on my bare foot. I don't think I've ever shrieked so loudly....sorry neighbours ?

LOL, we have a wildlife pond, frogs are everywhere, even indoors !

Or putting your foot inside your gardening clog outside the back floor and finding a frog already inside it.

It's quite hard to kill a slug by stamping on it. They just seem to get smaller.

the back door. Not 'floor'

brings back memories of Victor Meldrew

Ugh, here in France we have large horrible orange slugs. At least they are easier to see ! !

I walk around the garden with bare feet and have several times stepped on slugs. They leave thick sticky slime which is hard to wash off. Disgusting but not scary.

Found a cluster of slugs when moving plant pots last weekend. Threw them in my wildlife pond for the frogs

I throw slugs next door into our unpleasant neighbour's garden .I feel better now I 've confessed .
Am finding the scatter crushed eggshells/spray with garlic water route quite effective in slug control so far this year.I have never known them go for verbena before .

My husband was picking strawberries at the allotment yesterday. A big frog jumped into his hand and he screamed like a girl!

I've trodden on a few with bear feet - I know he feeling

Yup! It sure is wild out there. Best to stay indoors - wait a minute, are those ants crawling up my walls...and woodlice in the corner of the floor and I wish that fly would leave me alone but never mind, there's a spider...and oh no - what has the cat brought in....?

Christinefrance, why didn't you keep them ? They have found their way over to the East of England, I am over run by them.

Goose, are you a bear then!?!
