Well, in one night, the slugs wiped out my entire veggie patch. All I
have left are the parsnips, the tomatoes and the two vines. All the
rest is gone, gone, gone.

The good news however is that the patch at the front of the house
where I have my strawberries and herbs is still intact and hasn't been
eaten at all since I started chucking the orange peels in there.

Sigh, back to the drawing board, I guess I'd best start looking at
eating 4 oranges a day and seeing if I can get any winter crops
sown/planted this year.

Excuse me while I sit in the corner weeping.


I feel for you but it's not too late to start some things again.
With us it's more likely to be vandals on the allotments or recently a very
well spoken woman who lets her large dog run about on our plots destroying
our onion/shallot/garlic bed especially and peeing on everything.

Given the fact you're an obnoxious little shit, I'd consider yourself
very lucky. You could live near me, then you'd be up shit creek.

I've asked her not to once and my friends at the Swan Sanctuary have asked
her in a civilised manner twice recently. Last night they said to her " You
obviously don't understand pleasant requests so F--- O-- right now!". Some
people just have no thought for others.

Indeed. If you said that here that would be a death wish, it would be
granted very swiftly.
