I forgot yesterday to post we picked 6 nice zucchini and i'm ready to make bread,fried zucc and a veggie stew.Got some pole beans also. Don't go for big squash it's all seeds and no meat.

Foxy Lady: I,m not sure at the moment, there are a few tomatoes on but the plants look as though they don,t know weather to give up or not, I hope they don,t snuff it!
and please forgive *my* ignorance, but just exactly how does beer get rid of slugs? do they drink it and then try to drive home and wrap their little slugmobiles around dandelions and stuff?
ajtgirl: Ya I know neem doesnt work on slugs,mostly just flying bugs...(Home Depot has a non toxic slug biat, doesnt hurt cats or birds)Sluggo Did you get neem an try it out on your other pests yet? To date my hedge is infestation free and my sunflowers are soon going to open, completely bug free! I love neem!
Is anyones garden getting fruit......I picked 5 zuccs yesterday and 3 are gone.I slice them,dip in egg and coat with flour or bread crumbs and fry.To the dry mixture i add salt,pepper and garlic powder........Yummy
ajtgirl: I don't think the slugs care, they just go for the malt or hops not sure which but it really works. My problem is I usually drink all the beer thats why I've got a torch LOL
ajtgirl: Beer in a small container partially buried. if the opening is small enough then pets shouldn't go near it and the rain shouldn't dilute it that quickly, place cap back on after a few days and throw in rubbish bin. Other method is a torch and catch them at night.
Truth is I have never had so many slugs in my gardens When I wake up there are a few stupid ones just waiting for me to turn them into a pillar of salt But the big ones....the breeders...are hiding where I cannot see them I have cats at home and don't know how to kill the slugs without killing my cats Anyone have any suggestions?
Foxy Lady: We've tried beer here a few times but there isn't enough beer cuz there are wayyyy too many slugs. After it rains if you go in the backyard all you see are hundreds of slugs coming up for air.. It is so gross
plaintiger: off topic a lil' please forgive...but someone mentioned ice cream......mmmmm. there is a place in chinatown here..serves lychee nut ice cream. also on st.clair,in the italian community..a place that makes fresh gelato in flavours: cinnammon,hazelnut,chestnut,fig,ginger,pistacio..and many more.
Rose: LOL! Good job they are not meat eaters! I userally just put salt down, that shivals them up and they keep away from it but they beat me to it and me lettuce had only been out one day! Greedy things!
Mousetrap: I have a real bad slug problem too. Home Depot has a slug bait that isnt harmful to the environment you might wnat to try. Little pellets that they eat and it kills them ( I think it expands too much once in them) Anywho, I have/had about 200 sunflowers in my back garden and only half way survive. Must be slugs favourite food
plaintiger:I've been to the ginger factory in Queensland Aust and they have a whole heap of different tyeps of ginber plants with the most spectular range of flowers and colours.
