Soft refreshing rain !

whose garden are you lobbing them into,and dont they come back like homeing pidgens

Just what i was thinking..Ladybug Lol :-))

Oh Grandmarge I did the same last night. We have waited for the rain for so long haven't we? Not to find the snails but to fill the water butt!! lol I to in my Pj's and umbrella - what a sight ha ha ha went out, was a little disappointed that I only found 4 snails though. I too lobbed them over next doors fence as they don't clear away their weeds- the snails could have a good life eating there weeds without having to bother me again!!!

They'll come back grandmage, especially if you have lots of succulent goodies in your garden. Great, Im sure they prefer lovely young seedlings to weeds.
I used to take a deep breath, take aim and chop them in half with a hoe.

Just to clear up a point and not to get me in any trouble, we have an overgrown garden at the back of us which also backs onto a derelict field so I am not being mean to anyone really, and yes they will come back, oneday, someone told me they take two years to get back, not sure where they got that from !! lucky for my hostas though.

Sounds drastic mad- feeling better today I hope. Enjoy your weekend. You to Grandmage. " years, you mean someones tracked a snail.......??????????? now that is funny!

Great, think it was a tongue in cheek joke !!!! or maybe someone has !! Looney or what???

Years ago, a gardening magazine published a story of a man whose garden was over-run with snails. He painted a number on each snail he found, from 1 onwards, when he reached 100 ( in a short space of time) he took them in a sack to the local woods. One by one, they returned to his garden, so, "come in, number 37, your time is up" springs to mind !

Oh, now Megan I might just try that if this rain continues I have nothing else to do !!!
Ha Ha

Gm - rained here most of the day too. I like your Passion Flower avatar.

Thank you Megan, I decided to change it again today, actually I cut my PF down drastically and I do hope I havn't killed it ?

Dont snails have sat nav these days? cannot lobb ours over the fence both sides are good gardeners!!

Who knows what is under that shell ?? :o))
I know someone who collects her snails in a bucket and when she takes the dog to the park the snails go too!

I go out at night on slug/snail patrol too!

Glad to know I am not alone Pg !!

Dont you get the feeling that when you get to the great pearly gates in the sky we are going to be met with a big snail that says "ha ha" as we try to get in!! My way of dealing with them is my boot!! Sorry to offend but at least its quick!!

Squelch, yuk !!!!!!! Genu hope you clean your shoes !!

Order of the boot here as well.........

And I thought I was mean lobbing them !!!!!!!!!!

Grandmage all I can say is you have some weird friends!! snails-park. i must say though, this year the blackbirds are doing a very good job of eating my snails!!!. I have given very few the order of the boot!

Well Great the lady who takes her to the park says they would never return it is too far, hilarious really, you have to laugh !!
ps great, shall I bring mine round for your blackbirds!!!!
