I put my bedding plants in at the weekend (I know it's a bit early, but I like life on the edge ) and something's eating them. I'm not a happy bunny, anyone know what's been a munching in my garden?




Whatever they are, they are going to pay the ultimate price

put some slug pellets down under a piece of slate(or similar) and you'll find out who the culprit is the next morning.

Bliar,

It's almost certainly snails or slugs at this time of year.

They can be amazingly destructive.

Slugs or snails I reckon. Go out with a torch late one evening - that's when they dine.

Ah yes, but the 'Primrose Monster' does'nt really have the same appeal!

I'd like to be a caterpillar one day.

Just think of it...

Go around eating until you get as fat as possible.
Sleep for blimmin ages.
Wake up to discover your the most beautiful thing on the planet.
Fly freely flaunting to everybody.
Cop it whilst life's still sweet.

Nice

Not in my garden you wouldn't

Slug pellets duly deployed.... And some caterpillar spray just for good measure!

And as an unforseen bonus, slug pellets can be harmful to cats.... That'll teach next doors bastard moggie to come into MY garden

What you need to do is put some beer out for them and get them drunk.
