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!!

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.

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)

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))

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 ?
5 Jul, 2016
OMG, that is just awful! I most definitely won't be eating them.
