Haps did you get your wild garlic?
If you don't get sorted I've emailed a pal who has some and I can get some for you if you don't get it by you.

I did think of you yesterday when I saw my first slug (no offence meant) and collected the eggs

9 eggs today
1 slug went flying

Package holiday? Or flight only?

My sister collects slugs in a marj pot and takes them to the tip - she reckons if they find their way back they deserve to stay :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

how much space do they need? I've got a feeling i've seen that they should be planted in a square for cross poli-whatitsname.

Swedes - the ones that we had pictures of earlier in this thread when i buy them they're usually a fair bit smaller than a football but bigger than a tennis ball. Do they have different breeds with different sizes? Heavens i don't think i have enought plant knowledge to be left in charge of an allotment.

swedes have necks - I know which ones you mean. I've got a nice one for you.

How many do you want to eat, OH don't like them, that prob better to know - and we can do a plant/area thing - I reckon you need 6 or 9 or 12 - plant in a block - 1ft apart - any help?

And btw -
You do great!

Polite request.......................PLEASE stop talking about those creatures. I have a phobia, ever since I shared a bath with several without realising until I was sat in it! My friend in Mexico thinks it is hilarious and from time to time sends me those you tube videos.
Leaves with goosebumps rising and breaking into a cold sweat.

What you need is aversion therapy. Go kiss a few slugs until you feel better.

There's bound to be a nightclub nearby where they congregate...
