Lettuce from the garden

Give it to the Thrushes.

I had a slug on my salad when we ate out at a pub, recently! Yes, it was the pub grub!!

It went into the compost bucket I felt sorry for it ,stupid woman ! Definitely Pub 'GRUB ' Paul :o)

Amy, How can you feel sorry for snails, after they decimate our plants, recycle the blighters to the birds.

It was only little Sue , they usually go over the fence into the field !

I never feel sorry for them whatever their size, orrible little critters!!

Now you are making me feel guilty for saving it or soft in the head Lol ...

Sorry Amy!!

I've been out every night for a week with a torch gathering slugs & snails into my jar - all except the Leopard slug which I just discovered is a gardeners friend, apparently they don’t damage living plants, but will eat other slugs as well as dead and rotting plants along with fungi. It has been proved that the leopard slug helps to regulate the populations of the dreaded Spanish slugs.

Don't be Angela Tony always said I would have been useless on a farm I couldn't see the animals go to slaughter I am too soft he said I would be knitting them jumpers for the winter Lol ... thats interesting Mari I must check to see what a leopard slug looks like !

Lol Amy!! I must Google leopard slugs.......it is more snails with us this year....thanks for the info Gf......

Great pic! Knitting them jumpers! LOL... you have to admit there is something endearing about those little antennae!

I thought it was rather sweet Lori :o)

LOL... soft hearted!

We have the hedgehogs around doing a good job but we have had an excess of snails and slugs so we have put our some beer traps (beer in jars, three quarters buried into the soil) and they have been successful in catching a lot.

Ha ha you will you will be able to see their dizzy drunken slimy trails if they escape Linda :o)

or the hedgehogs with their tankards dipping them into the jar!!! LOL

oh that's precious! LOL...

Guess what our daughter has just come back from a week in Spain and didn't like the snails in almost all the dishes Lol :o))

Were they cooked or walking ones? (smile)

They were cooked Mari, Escargots ... she would have run a mile if they were walking Lol ...

I can't say that I'd blame her, Amy. As a cash crop though some folks on GoY would have a thriving business.
...but, eating snails? shudder. not even with garlic!

Have been told escargot are like eating garlic mushroom - which I like - but I'll not be trying them myself!

I don't suppose it can be any different from eating Cockles or Winkles from the sea but I won't be trying them either ,I did try frogs legs once but then a gentleman told me how they were killed its really cruel apparently they have a very sharp blade on a table they slice the legs off and then throw the still live body onto a heap on the floor , how can they do that ?

OMG, that is just awful! I most definitely won't be eating them.
