Default Spring weather?

...
I can contribute a pair of slugs.


Due to limitations of space, there will not be room for every type of
animal, so I'm excluding slugs, snails, aphids, black fly, white fly, vine
weevils, cabbage white butterflies, moles, rabbits and wood pigeons. Cats
are on the maybe list. Any other suggestions for exclusions?

David.



Wasps a definite - I can't really see much point in them.
I also hate spiders, but I can see that they are important so I suppose I'd
have to put up with them!

Cats can be useful in controlling small vermin (and they'd control the
spiders ... although my very elderly moggy just sniffs them and lets them
get away) Dogs also have their uses, but the horrible little yappy snarly
ones can definitely be dispensed with!

As far as micro organisms are concerned - yeasts/fungi in particular - we
should keep the ones that brew wine, but not the ones that cause itchy bits
in places where the sun don't shine !!!! :-)))

(.... I think I'd better stop there .......)
