Slugs.

I've noticed a bit of slug damage on the new transplants this week. Last night I went out at sunset to see if I could catch any in the act. I found quite a few right away, so I started picking them up. Pair of pliers and a cup of water with soap (keeps them from climbing out). About 15 minutes later I had swept through the whole garden: 197 slugs.

Some of those look like banana slugs. I hope not. If so, how will we numb our tongues?!

Yeah it was hard to tell - they were all babies. I am a baby-killer.

That may be the most disgusting photo I have ever seen! What happens if you throw those in a blender then add to you compost pile?
