We are having Joe & Lauren's rehearsal dinner at our house in August, so this year more than any I have been trying to make sure the porch and flowers look great. As I was watering tonight I noticed one pot had a flower that didn't look very good. I looked around the pot and found 6 big snails. They were slimy and icky, but strangely fascinating to watch. The biggest one was around 1" across.
I couldn't just stomp on them because that gave me the creeps, so I took the coward's way out and put them in the saucer of beer that I put out to catch the rest of them that are in the flower bed and they promptly drowned. (supposedly they are attracted to the smell (?) of the beer, they crawl in and then drown). I couldn't just let them go back to where they were and ruin my flowers, right? I'm sure there are plenty more where these came from!
