Glowworms as biologcal control
Never seen one in the West Yorkshire Alps, but this Summer I found one on
the edge of a wheatfield in Normandy. It's bum was beautiful, but by golly its face was ugly! I suppose you can't have everything.

"K" wrote in message ... "Jane Ransom" wrote in message ... : I once went through my bird book from beginning to end to find out which : birds ate slugs. The list is: : : starling : partridge : corncrake (rare, apr-sept) : stone curlew (deep south only, mar-oct) : spotted crake (waterside, apr-dec) : black tailed godwit (coastal) : moorhen (waterside) : : I think you will find hens will eat your slugs as well!!! : -- : Jane Ransom in Lancaster. The only one we are likely to get in our garden is the starling - and we get plenty - but they're not doing a very good job :O(((( Same here. The slugs are under cover by day when the starlings are active and the starlings are open ground birds.

He asked a straight question in a light hearted manner and get abuse from you. I bet he knows things you don't, Dahlias for example, so would you expect abuse from him if you asked about them. Or are you such a prude that "bloody hell" offends you? For goodness sake lighten up and smile. -- Bob http://www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an allotment site in Runnymede, fighting for its existence against bureaucracy. |

The message
from "Sue & Bob Hobden" contains these words: "K" wrote in message ... : What the bloody hell is a glowworm????? : How to show your ignorance in one easy step!!!!! Sorry? He asked a straight question in a light hearted manner and get abuse from you. I bet he knows things you don't, Dahlias for example, so would you expect abuse from him if you asked about them. Probably, if the question was framed as "What the bloody hell do you know about dahlias?". Or are you such a prude that "bloody hell" offends you? For goodness sake lighten up and smile. It seems your sense of humour and sophisticated liberality regarding free expression does not extend to K, ......how's your greenhouse? Janet. |

I do have some understanding that the words are rude indeed, and I for one would not jump into a large group of real vs. virtual people and use such language. I'm not a prude; my vocabulary was greatly enhanced by a stint in the U.S. Navy, and 30+ years of working with mostly male technical types. Later responses by the same person showed that agitation, not learning was involved, so it found a place where very few individuals go, in my killfile. So, what are folks picking these days, mostly hardy greens? I've got to freeze a big bunch of Bok Choi, which will be welcome in the gloom of winter.

No, I am not a prude and I am not that easily offended, but I feel it is hardly the way to get a civil answer. If I didn't know what a glowworm was, I'd either look it up in a dictionary or put it into a search engine. Why don't you answer his/her question instead of having a go at me. If you think my reply was abuse, I think you are the one who needs to lighten up. K |
