Owcho got slugged

[zigs]

Ate into his seed pods in the night, looks like a lot of seed in there

Wonder if it'll be fertile?

 

[grouie]

What's going on?

 

[zigs]

That's what I thought till I saw the slug slime on the prickles, seed pods must be tasty for it to crawl over them

What about the thorns. I am still confused

 

[zigs]

Just saying that a slug has nibbled into his seed pods and they are full of seed, first time i've had a Cactus set seed

 

[CanadianLori]

Slug, yuck. Can you protect Owcho from future molestation?

 

[zigs]

Couldn't find the slug so I moved him

Sowed some of the seed too

 

[CanadianLori]

K. Now are you saying a snail is too fast for you?

Just having a crack. Those little buggers wait until they see you shut your peepers before they attack.

 

[zigs]

Just haven't found where he's hiding

 

[claudine]

Owcho is a cute name for a cactus haha That poor slug must have been really, really hungry! Or addicted to cactus seeds

Found the slug, it was a snail

 

[CanadianLori]

Glad to hear you had a successful hunt for the beast. Squashed shells probably provide calcium for plants too...

 

[zigs]

He/she was hiding under the bench, had a go at a few beans in the night too

That's what I call tenacity. A gardener needs that to survive

You are so right, those bugs can ruin all your hard work if you do not keep a good eye out for them.
