They ate my entire crop of lilies one spring - just as they were about 8 inches tall. I am so impressed at how much you have sprouting already. You are way farther north, but I don't have nearly as much coming along.

I crammed it full to bursting with plants which made me happy. We had lots of snails. I thought they were cute too. My puppies found them very puzzling. I'd collect a lot in the spring but then sort of let them do their thing the rest of the season. I actually never noticed what they were eating though, so I don't think they did a lot of damage. Or maybe I just blamed bad horticulture for whatever disappeared (Virginia bluebells, bletilla striata). Our snails had yellow shells of all things and looked exotic and pretty. Do your trips make you long to have South African plants on the terrace or is it just too difficult with the humid summers?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002590660153088126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-31204929288691023672010-04-02T02:56:01.501-04:002010-04-02T02:56:01.501-04:00You need a pet duck for those snails!

I'm surprised every year mine make it, they are a bonus. I have lots of slugs and some snails (I did not grow up with these!) but they seem to leave my plants alone. They slime my compost, which if you ask me is the only reason to throw my vegetables out in a pile in full view of passersby.<br /><br />Oh, but the other day I spied a spiteful street cat shitting on the compost pile. Bugger.<br /><br />My New Dawn put out three 12 foot long new canes last year- I had to cut them they were poking people on the sidewalk! Very substantial plant.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554893883207752597noreply@blogger.com
