Menen Sees A Wee Little Snail


Of course, the Psychic Gardener was right about the snails and slugs targeting my new plants. As she suggested, I put the pellets down last night.

They work amazing, and it was full on carnage this morning. It was startling how quickly the genocide took place and the number of carcasses dumbfounded me. At this rate, I will have to install a tiny crematorium in the corner.

Actually, I feel uncomfortable about killing them, and I am not sure that I believe the pellet packaging, "Completely safe for your vegetable garden." At some point today, I will more than likely eat the flesh off a chicken cadaver, but this morning I feel guilty about killing a snail just because it likes to crawl on my moss and nibble on my lettuce.
