I have never know them so prolific, many of my seedlings are being

path without treading on the blighters. Ugh! I assume I am not alone in
this, normally I rarely see a snail. Where are the thrushes when I need
them?


Something eats the slugs and snails in my garden because there are
hardly any to be seen. I've never used anything to kill them and I've
only seen one thrush other than blackbirds. If I find out what is
controlling the slugs and snails I will packet it!
