So it's a global phenomenon, psketti! Well, at least they're enjoying themselves! I saw on a wildlife documentary ages ago that slugs are in fact hermaphrodite and in the absence of any other slug in the vicinity that takes their fancy, can mate with themselves (shock, horror!).

know what you mean... everyone is really grumpy down here 'cos it's a holiday resort and the weather has been shite.

I though I saw the sun peeping out today so i washed out the hutches.. then it started spitting.

i somehow disabled cookies and each time i check the weather on the BBC site i get london and it shows sun and high temperatures sometimes and I get all excited. then again, my sis lives up there and says it's not too good.

My veggies are confused, my broccoli has bolted, last time it was due to me not watering them, this time they think it's now autumn!

This horrible, muggy, damp weather seems to be giving me spots. Has this been happening to anyone else?

Cripes, you are just down the road from me really, and we've not had a drop of rain here.

Oh and my neighbours garden is full of slugs, I know because thats where I keep throwing them.

MASSIVE. I've just got back from walking Ruby-dog and was ankle deep in soft earth all the way around. But it's HOT out there. Between the wellies and the raincoat I'm cooked. I was like a walking sauna.

Slugs'n'snails can do that "find their way back home" thingy, like mice and cats (although it takes them a lot loooooonger).

Homing slugs? Oh great...

So is a snail just an awakened slug in a shellsuit?

We already covered this in another thread. I think we decided that snails are the traveller/gypsies of the slug world.

Of course, the snails would probably have you believe the opposite. It's a minefield.
