Day 134 - May 14

Finally, the slug nematodes arrived. Personally, I thought they should have sent them out earlier as in Southern England we really rarely get frost this late and the ground has been warm for quite a while now. It just makes planting too late but there's no use trying to raise anything from seed in our garden with the amount of slugs we get. Hopefully, these little creatures will reduce the load - they live in the ground and invade the slugs there, killing them and then passing on to another slug. The dead slugs stay in the ground and the nematodes go on feeding and killing for about 6 weeks. Here's hoping...

KI Memories paper with goodies from Club Scrap: word charm from "Painted Desert"; lollipop stick from "Down to Earth" (turned over); numbers from Egyptian. The peel-off alphas are from Craft Creation and the fimo snail was a freebie I got with some embellies from a local crafter.
