I have a lovely clary sage plant in a large lily pot. Last night,
daughter and I were sitting outside with a glass of wine when I noticed
a huge slug right in the middle of it. Instead of being sensible and
plucking it off the plant, I went and poured salt on it. Then I
promptly forgot it. This morning, all that remains of the slug is a
slimy mess and the plant has wilted over the sides of the pot. I have
tried sluicing it with water but hope I haven't killed it off. I don't
generally have much luck with clary sage and its leaves had been nibbled
by snails in places but this is quite a disaster, or so it seems. Does
anyone have any ideas, please? TIA
