all night party at my house
snails and slugs love to eat our modest city plot organic garden. in defense of our prized vegetables, mom takes the boys out at night to stomp eggshells and leave the sharp little bits that tear up snail bellies. another thing we do is to leave out cups of beer. the snails climb in for a refreshing drink and drown. snails aren't very smart. usually, we use miller lite. cause it's cheap. last night however, we used some sam adams. i'm not sure if the slugs like it better but the raccoons sure do. a family of four came by just after midnight, drank up all the beer, and presumably munched down any slug bodies therein. then we had a gang of drunk raccoons pawing at the sliding glass doors to be let in for some more of that yummy beverage. we always assumed it was the cat that tore the holes in the screen doors. now i'm not so sure.
