OP Bill The Garden Helper B Joined: Aug 2002 Cedar Hill Washington	I've been carefully watching over a strawberry that had grown to 2 1/2 inch diameter, waiting for it to reach perfection. This morning I visited the berry, hoping to get a pix for Bob... Immediately after taking the photo, war was declared, resulting in the death by salt of 156 slimers, and the squooshing of 12 others by boot. Slugs around the world should take note that they shouldn't mess mit der gardenhelper's strawberries, nor his fleurs! GRRRRRRRR!

I've beat them back this year and can't even find a slug or a snail around, anywhere. To bad I didn't plant any strawberries. Next year I'll be back at it. Hope you win your war.
