@riverman123...i feel your pain about the slugs. I've had more than usual this year...they ate all my tropical lupine. Then someone told me to put some aluminum foil around the stem at the base. I did that to several plants that the slugs had been bothering and there were no more signs of slug activity on the plants with foil at the base. So, this worked great for me.
@Reine...thanks for the information about what eats slugs, i was just about to search that.
Then i went hunting and i appear to be slug free...usually they are not such a problem for me.
