Slug be gone!

M and I are getting the house ready for an open house. It's amazing how long we put off doing things that end up taking 10 minutes to do and make the place look so much better! lol We bought a few plants for the front garden (to bring a bit of color) and some bark. The place looks like new. Every morning I am out watering my new plants because I am determined that they do not die. Or get munched on by slugs. The amount of slugs/snails in our garden is more than any one garden needs. I saw a couple this morning... trying to make a 'run' for it... I had to use some sticks to throw them far away. I don't like using poison in a garden in case cats/dogs come along, so I half buried a little container and filled it with beer. The slugs are supposed to smell the beer and come to it, then hopefully fall in and drown. I admit I get a little evil when I think about the slugs eating my plants so I can't wait to see if this works! lol

Ok, that's all. Silly I know. Oh, and I finished the new Harry Potter book. Not as good as some of the others but still pretty good. I won't say what happens though.
