You had me thinking. I've just returned from a dinner party and
checked my garden. We've got lots too. I had bought a couple of pots
for our pond (and iris and a little schizostylus) and kept them
outside in a bag until tomorrow. The bag is full of little slugs. It
still quite fresh outside though - clear skies tonight. I think I'll
set some slug trap tomorrow and start the evening hunts earlier than I
have never done.
