The comment about 15 generations, that's what I meant makes me really, really sad... Arthur like my sis, hard to get her to repeat a story. Well, I can guess. I did like that song... You poem was again, so delicately written. Had some really great lines in it. White gloves, I didn't know you and the Queen were...oh, never mind! LOL!

Treat them to a cheap beer... the slugs, that is.
I don't have that problem here in desert country, but in the Pacific NW, slugs of every size love Foster's--the cheapest I could find. I poured it into disposable containers then set them around the garden.

Re: CCT
Yes Naut some real great wine cellars in most colleges, I should not think the students know. As you say it is all fading away,As one man said recently 15 generations of his family and now it is like a foreign country in his borough.

Re: Grasshopper Kabu
Well I am kind of fond of grasshoppers, but I have not seen one for a while. My frogs are all over the place, but the slugs breed like slugs.

Re: In the Pacific Northwest we used to have banana slugs, big ol' yellow
Pat if they were that big I would think your Mum's method of manual removal was best.
They sound horrible.

It has been a while since I have visited a college. I guess about six years right before I graduated...Those fleeting encounters can make the biggest impressions on us.

In the Pacific Northwest we used to have banana slugs, big ol' yellow
creatures that left shiny trails where they crossed a sidewalk. Mama used to sprinkle rock salt when they got too bad, but she didn't think it was good for the soil, so there were times when she just put on gloves and dropped them into a coffee can full of water.

great story from Arthur and I don't have a problem with slugs but I have so many very small variety grasshoppers eating some of my plants down to the roots. Grrrr

I love that picture of a couple of Oxford Dons on the steps of their College , wine in hand - that's the England that is vanishing down the rabbit hole together with all the rest of it, chased by people wearing nightshirts and pants showing the ankle...
