in the garden

This morning's bag was 14 snails, a bunch of little slugs and two monstrous slugs. They weren't the bright yellow of banana slugs, so I either have leaf-colored mutant banana slugs or they just weren't ripe yet. I hate big slugs. The little ones I can just sacrifice a leaf from the plant they are on, but the big ones were on the ground where I had to touch their ickyness. These are the first monstrous ones I've found in my yard. I always thought they liked the moister air of sirst's garden. The slugs are on the move. It must be a sign of global warming.
