Possible slug solution

Bo-Bo???

A Bo-Bo (UK usage) or Bo’Bo’ (UIC notation) is a locomotive with two independent four-wheeled bogies with all axles powered by individual traction motors (cf B-B). Bo-Bos are mostly suited to express passenger or medium-sized locomotives.
Typical Bo-Bo locomotives include DB Class 120, FS Class E464 and SJ Class Rc4.

Knowledge dear man…knowledge

Bob why must you be such a rotten tomato? LOL

Glad you added some of your gardening knowledge to my posting.

In actual fact, my spelling boo-boo has a garden definition….

“Job’s Tears (Coix lacryma-jobi), Coixseed, adlay, or adlai, is a tall grain-bearing tropical plant of the family Poaceae (grass family) native to East Asia and peninsular Malaysia but elsewhere cultivated in gardens as an annual. ” :p

Excuse me…looks like your definition is a Google’s #1 hit dear rotten tomato: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:Bo+bo&ei=wvVNStWzMpaqtgf_uOW0BA&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title

Sorry you can’t take it when a youngin’ like me corrects your wrong definition of a pesticide skipper but let it go and move on. This is just too much you made me smile today anyway. :)

So back to slugs…anyone else have problems with slimy creatures?

Well you certainly wont die of shame.

Slugs? How about snails? They’re in the same family aren’t they? I don’t know why but every year I have to battle the snails…....and I am not squeamish about squishing them! When I pick them off a beautiful iris bloom where they have made lace of the bloom, I have MURDER in my eye…..and I do it! Every year the same thing….I pick them out of the the foliage by the hundreds, from spring until freeze up. They are a curse on the garden, and earwigs come a very close second. Aren’t there any nature enemies of these creepy creatures?

Natural enemies = humans hehe.

Bob: Now behave…
You ladies seem to be having fun venting your frustrations on snails and slugs. I notice not one man said anything about the beer! Had thought that Bob might or at least Greenthumb…Drunken slugs-don’t want them in my backyard! Perhaps, you scared them (to death?) with all this squashing! Or they just crawled away as quickly as, well, a snail possibly can…Mom never had trouble with snails. Maybe she isn’t in the Snail Zone. Birds were always the worse in the corn. Set up old pie plates to rattle; a garden owl; and other tricks-but, the scarecrow worked best. Moved them around so the birds thought someone was weeding in the corn rows! Glad you have found a solution! Do you eat breakfast before or after the squishing? Just curious…

Haha…I eat breakfast an hour or so after.
