I don't have slugs here, so don't have to worry about it. I think I've seen.. 4? 5? slugs since I bought my house in '05. Need moisture to have slugs..

Linda - I like spiders. I *love* jumping spiders & have played with them when I find them. I've seen some absolutely beautiful ones here. But if you like spiders, google "Peacock spider" or check out this link from Scientific America: http://www.scientificamerican.... WARNING: SPIDER PICTURES. But, personally, I don't like these rolypoly eaters crawling around my bathroom when I gotta tinkle at 2am and I see this monstrous speeder coming at me (technically, the spider's trying to run from the cats and hide behind the toilet or under something in the bathroom). They're bright cream & red in color and look pretty ferocious. WARNING: SPIDER PICTURE: http://ps-garden.s3.amazonaws.... That's the spider I get in my yard & bathroom (not too many in the bathroom since the cats seem to love to nom them up). But these spiders can get to be about 1.5-2" from front leg to hind leg & their abdomen is usually quite swollen.. probably 'cuz they're fat from all the rolypolys! But with this picture, you can see those massive mandibles! Yikes! Never been bit by one, so can't tell if they hurt or not.
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
