The battle would be totally lost to those slimy critters - there would be no glorious bleeding hearts, full, leafy green Hostas, or anything for that matter in our perennial garden. Good luck finding a solution.<br /><br />Love the picture! That is, indeed, one of the tiniest, skinniest slugs I have ever seen. 7th grade science does a whole section on slugs here.

I can't believe how big your little ones have gotten! Seems like forever since Okinawa!

We battle the slugs every summer because they love our once beautiful Hostas. Sadly this past year the snails tipped the scales and seem to be winning. Only about a half of our hostas returned. Beer did not deter them and then we tried a child/dog friendly granular mixture which did not work either. Hope your readers have some good advise.Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504505417780478629noreply@blogger.com
