I am trying to make my rental garden look less like a rental garden so I have planted cosmos and delphiniums and jasmine and geraniums to name a few plants but each morning I go out to have a look and they all have a snail trail across them and a few leaves have been munched. Not only does England have a moth infestation (jumpers have to be stored in special wrapping or placed in the freezer - who knew?) but it also has a snail infestation! Apparently there is nothing to be done, snail poison is no longer an acceptable item and we are told just to live alongside the snails. I know this is the right thing to do but it does make me sad that most of the plants I bought do look very sad and I am just hoping they will bounce back. Anyone out there have any old wives remedies?
I‘m so sorry! With the very wet spring this year there are so many snails here, too. Unfortunately, I don’t know of any remedies. This is the one time I’m glad we only have a small balcony - snails don’t make it up there! Rosie Grey
