dances on snails

You have heard of "Dances with Wolves"?. Well, around here this morning it was "Dancing on Snails". probably a good thing the neighbours are out! It is a beautiful drizzly morning, with just enough rain to soak the ground, while still being able to walk to the mail box without getting drenched. The snails are out everywhere... and now they are all snail paste!
I planted heaps of seedlings this month and the &^$^& snails got the lot! Today I got revenge, Hopefully I will have reduced the population a bit before I replant.
It always amuses me that they only eat the seedlings in the front yard, while the back yard is relatively untouched. It is also interesting to see what they eat. They won't touch any of my herbs. They don't eat sweet potoato, potato, garlic, beetroot, broad beans or the cabbages, but no zucchini, cucumber, lettuce, or bean plant is safe. I think it's time to steal some of hubby's beer and set some snail traps.
The bramble wattle seeds are sprouting, as are the thyme seeds. Passionfruit are coming up too. The Grandfather sage seedlings are still doing well, but I lost the last of the Darling Peas in last week's hot spell. One of the Ice Cream Bean trees is still going strong, and one is thinking about surviving. Pat Collins (THE Centre, Musswellbrook) has given me a Rue seedling which has taken off well. I have tomato plants everywhere, mostly self seeded, and most are starting to produce. Not enough to bottle, but enough for a bit of tomato in lunch each day. A good start. Still trying to source more tagasaste seeds.
