I don't want to kill the wild life, so I throw them in my neighbor's yard, since they only grow crabgrass anyway. Are you aching all over like me?

It's going to be such a blast following the progress of that garden. For the slug problem, you could always try good old Jerry Baker's concoctions. You fill shallow pans with beer and put them in the garden. They'll drown in it, and you're supposed to then follow their slimy trail to find their daytime resting spot. Then you're supposed to apply aluminum sulphate. I've done the beer thing, but never followed their trail. Also you can roll up wet newspapers and set them in the garden, and overnight they'll crawl inside there. But then the next morning, you're left with live slugs! Ok, that was very long-winded, and I should have just e-mailed you!<br />No, I'm not surprised that your birthday projects were picked as favorites. I still love that cake!<br />Have a great day!<br />Carol<br />p.s. Happy Anniversary to you and Worker Bee!
