Salad Party

A family of slug is partying on my salad patch and they are having a blast. I, on the other hand, am not invited and am furious. The salad leaves are all wiped out save from the ones in the container.

They usually come after the rain and in the early morning. Or maybe they start at night. I don't know. What I know for sure is that my salad patch ceased to be one.

MIL suggested that I use a kind of repellent--blue granules that should be put strategically around the garden where they feast. I'm still thinking about that until the moment I find a more natural way of keeping these slugs away from my garden. Any suggestion?

Well, there's a chemical that you can buy that totally makes them go away but if you prefer to use a home remedy one. My hubby told me you can use beer and it's very effective. YOu need a bowl and bury it to the dirt level to the ground then put beer when the slug smells it they go to that bowl and they get drowned.

You can always throw salt on them, Missus. But the beer idea sounds better, but maybe you should use some San Miguel Pale Pilsen. Red Horse might knock them out before they get a chance to drown.
You can always research online to find natural ways to keep them out of your garden. Ours are a family of bunnies feasting in our garden. Well, we just let them be. They seem to be working on eating the broccoli and so far I got one bunch of broccoli out from the garden. hahaha.... hope you get rid of them!

Alam mo problema din Namin dito yan. Kaya me and my hubby ay namumulot nyan at well i cut then in two. Tapos may panlason dito na binibigay to mix with the dead slugs para pag kinain ng mga buhay ay mamatay din sila. And you know what? That love to eat dandelions too
aww sayang naman, isa lang talaga natira? i envy that you have an actual salad garden :)

How can I stop looking up the sky? With it's beauty that never ceases to amaze me.

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin

Light in the sky

For a long time I am fascinated by the sky, but this has been fuelled up when I joined Sky Watch Friday . I am really thankful for this!
