Just the other day I grabbed the sprinkler and discovered this...
Slug eggs!
After cleaning them off I attached the sprinkler and turned on the water. You know where this is going right?
AGAIN!
This one came out in a single tug of the tweezers, a little worse for the wear though. I wonder how many more are in there?

Gross is right. It amazes me that with the ongoing drought I was plagued by slugs all season. They devastated my cabbage, glads, beans. They are imports hitching a ride on perennials grown in warmer climes but they have adapted too well to my cold one.
ReplyDeleteSlugs seem to do just fine in the colder, drier climate of my native Spokane, at least at my moms where she's kind enough to supply them with lots to eat.
DeleteSlugs are the stuff of nightmares for me!
ReplyDeleteBecause of what they do to plants? Or just the look of them?
DeleteYuck! That's one sprinkler problem I haven't seen...
ReplyDeleteHa! Ya, I hadn't thought of your issues and the lack of a slug plug.
DeleteIf the slugs were a tad smarter they could create an efficient distribution system for their young... baby slugs being jettisoned to all corners!
ReplyDeleteThank god they're not.
DeleteNever using a sprinkler again. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it took them to work their way in there?
DeleteEwwwww!
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteSlug sprinkler party!!
ReplyDeleteWho knew?
