sluggers

the garden update:
the garden is growing at a steady paste, considering the battle it is constantly fighting!  slugs and white maggot looking things mowing them.  the heriloom lettuce and carrots are growing rapid.  however, the plants with anything purple veggies are not doing too well.  they look like something came through and picked it to pieces.

so boyfriend and i went to the local (and i mean local, its about a 10 minute walk) nursery and got some snail/ slug filler.  it's suppose to be organic and safe around pets.  what it does to the snail/ slugs is it makes them feel full.  yes call me a bug killer, but the plants are starting to look good!

here are  a few images of them before snail bait.

purple broccoli, you can't see center leaves because they are gone!

heirloom letuce and the purple cauliflower which you can't see because they've been mowed.


purple cauliflower looks the same as when first planted.
