We have had an invasiuon this year. For weeks I carefully nutured veggies on my windowsill and when they seemed strong enough put them out to face the mercies of the weather and ...yes you've guessed it they were eaten overnight by an army of the slimy ones. Love your lacy bits.

The slugs, attracted by the smell of the beer, will dive in and not be able to get out. I know it's not particularly friendly but it's a bit nicer that the shop versions and it does work. You will have the grim job of pulling the jar out and emptying the contents though!debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01606235627813247386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-8599390666915380982007-09-18T20:34:00.000-07:002007-09-18T20:34:00.000-07:00They came out so lovely, love the little lace in t...They came out so lovely, love the little lace in the back of cardigan!<BR/>Everytime I hear about H&M I feel like moving back to New York, I cry knowing that there is none in Texas...How can that be possible?Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254241399403505959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-77647745400631788422007-09-18T20:09:00.000-07:002007-09-18T20:09:00.000-07:00maggi, that is music to my ears...and my girls, oh...maggi, that is music to my ears...and my girls, oh happy day :)<BR/><BR/>Junkyard Jennifer, i sew them on by hand, i have not mastered the art of machine sewing on buttons...too scared to try, so i do it the old fashioned way using contrasting colored embroidery thread to add a little touch :)dottie angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09935619132467255438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-66616530034911813732007-09-18T20:07:00.000-07:002007-09-18T20:07:00.000-07:00SAVE THE PANSIES AND KILL THE SLUGS.
