Rainy Saturday

A rather dark rainy day. In yet another sign of spring, I saw a few snails and slugs on the sidewalks when I walked the dog this morning. So when we got back, after I brought the dog inside and wiped his paws, I went back outside and threw a bunch of Sluggo down among the irises that are coming up on the west side of the house.

Last year one of my irises was first slimed and then destroyed by a slug. This year, I hope to get the slugs before they get my flowers. A pre-emptive strike, as it were.
