150508- The seed trays are on the top shelf of a 4-tier mini-greenhouse, so I’ve no idea how this snail got up that high, or why it bothered, when there were plants lower down. I’m sure it wasn’t there when I planted the trays; they were nesting inside each other so it could only have been on the outside one, but surely I’d have noticed?
I remove snails by flicking them off with the tip of a trowel; after a brief flight they land somewhere and no doubt will come back to annoy me again.

lol I've heard of the "drop then next door", but then they'd probably do the same thing - for all I know, they do!
I bought some netting for my strawberry plant which has started flowering; i might have to make bags and put the seed trays in those in future.

lol it had a brief spell in the air, not quite flying wiht the greatest of ease, but as I didn't directly kill it, it'llprobably be back, and bring its chums with it
