Nice melons

[Mrs Ava]

Or at least I did have, about 6 melon seedlings until they all got munched clean off at compost level over the weekend  >:( so todays mission was to find the culprits.  No slime trials or bugs to be found, until I lifted one pot and moved my propogator and there was snail, and his homeless cousin, slug, both fat on my poor seedlings!  >:( >:(  Mr Snail was crushed and Mr Slug sliced in 2, grim and gross, but will Ava look forward to tucking in to nice warm slug on a summers evening, or a nice slice of gala melon?  :)

Went in to the house of green tonite at dusk to tuck my babies up, and what did I find with his gnashers around one of my cucumber plants, a ruddy slug, thats what!  >:( For a fairly small slimebag I was rather impressed at his bite - he had a fair old whack of the leaf in his gob.  Needless to say, he  went to meet his maker happy with a full tummy, and I am yet another cuc plant down!  Serious re-sowing to take place tomorrow!  :-\
