Infestation

Finally got an iris bloom a week or so ago. This morning I looked out the kitchen window at it, and there was a large slug, sliming all over it.

And here's a snail.

And yet another slug on the leaves of irises that haven't bloomed yet.

So among my errands today was to buy Sluggo, which is reputed to be safe to use even when pet wander around the vicinity. I have not spread it out yet because it is Not Very Nice weather out today, and I am officially in for the evening, even though I haven't yet had supper.

I wanted a sunny Saturday but I got (yet another) overcast, damp one, so I'm pouty and crabby.
