A friend of ours had a close one with her cat when it turned ill, after telling the vet that she saw her cat ‘spit up’ a snail before she fell down proved it was that that had caused it.

Apparently small bowls of sugar, beer or anything sweet will attract them away from your plants, if you make it deep enough with the liquid in then they should drown too.

Your garden looks lovely, its so wonderful when the flowers start blooming xx

Isn’t it exciting to find new flowers each day. I find spring the best time in the garden because there is just enough growth to hint at the glories to come and I can imagine how wonderful the garden will look in full bloom, editing out the weeds and intruder damage of course.
Re rabbits- what about keeping a cat? Our valley is full of rabbits but I have never seen one in the garden.

Just a little note about slug pelllets (& liquid) – they are toxic to birds and small animals but they also turn the slugs toxic and the local RSPCA lady told us that each year she is brought a number of hedgehogs dying in agony through eating dead slugs. I have a MAJOR slug problem here and my solution has been to grow different plants and only have annuals in hanging baskets. I have used pellets sparingly to get plants established but I always feel guilty.
