Like 'homing pigeons'
a research project was carried out where slugs and snails were marked before being removed from a garden and they returned. Mine won't they went in the dustbin .

Re: Todays Task!
More of the same today, a general clean up of the beds of weeds, and tidy up all round, but no doubt will find something else before the days out.Just hope it keeps nice and dry, but not to hot.
Are you pottering at home today? I can't stand the crowds on Bank holidays.

Re: Todays Task!
they will soon be out of the main bag when they get to the tip 
I can't bring myself to kill them, squishing them or putting salt on is horrible << shudders>>

Re: Todays Task!
Just come in for a break, getting very hot out there now, might pop up to the village to get some milk, and perhaps have a quick snack at the village cafe whilst there.Must build up my energy for this afternoons big task, I am stacking a lot of heavy wood, that I want to store.
I was too ill for 3 years to do anything, and Nature was taking over, that is why I have so much to catch up on.
