Watering plants have become a daily routine for D & I since our landscaping for the garden was completed abt two weekends ago... It's pretty time consuming but the imagery of chio willows and a thriving spice garden has kept us pretty conscientious so far. Unfortunately the weather this week or two has been quite scorching n so the new plants aren't doing that well. Tonight - I discovered a snail at the spice garden... Being a gardening idiot I had to google before I was able to ascertain if it were a friend or foe. Alas, it's no friend of our garden and so I got brave D to displace it, ie gently toss out of our garden. I then decided to further inspect the sPice garden soil with my iPhone LED torchlight and to my horror discovered a small community of 6 - 8 snails all ready to feast on my various young herbs! Was really grossed out n consequently the tossing out became a bit more violent... Upon checking up further on my garden enemies and where they come from I realized that they lay eggs and are hermaphrodites.. Bleah.. Ok I suppose that is enough unsolicited info abt snails anyone can take for a night. I just hope I don't find more tomorrow :(
