our 5 Dahlias came up about three weeks ago and they're all about a foot tall so far. we protect them at night then remove the "cover" during the day. well since they're getting so tall we figured it was time to stop using the cover. it was becoming very impractical. and of course, it rained last night and most of the day today. its been fairly dry this past week. I get home and find holes all over the Dahlia leaves!!! I turn one of them over and I see two, not one, but TWO, 1/2 inch long baby slugs having a field day!!! I glance to my left and see two, not one, but TWO, 2 inch long adult slugs in hot pursuit of the plants!!! we all know what happened next...
