Some years there are lots of killer slugs in the garden. 2014 was the first year I noticed them in large amounts. 2015 was also a slug year. In the summers since then, we haven’t had very many.

This year is apparently a slug year again. The bounty is on, and Ingrid is hunting them.

We’ve given up on trying to collect and freeze them. Too much hassle – they tried to crawl out of the freezer bag all the time. Now we simply cut them in half and throw them somewhere where we won’t step on them. I have a special pair of slug scissors in my garden basket.

We also saw unusually many leopard slugs today. I’ve never seen more than two or three on the same day. Today I think we saw almost ten. Maybe they’re here to eat the Spanish slugs!
