I haven't implemented any sort of slug prevention. Although I have found a couple in my garden munching away, the majority of my veggies have remained untouched. I'm thinking that the raised square foot garden beds might be helping out a bit.
I was on chicken duty last night so, as I waited for it to start to get dark, I had a little visit with the lambs.
When the lambs first arrived at Maples Discovery Gardens Co-op they were quite timid. Now, most of them are comfortable around humans - I suppose they have figured out that humans could equal food. Number 43 is especially friendly (or the hungriest) - she just followed me around the whole time I was in their pen.
I wouldn't make a good animal farmer. I fall in love with the animals and could never imagine sending them to slaughter - not even chickens. How can you eat your friends? lol I told my husband that the ideal situation would be to have a small hobby farm (chickens for eggs, sheep for wool, goats for fun and milk...) and live close to beef and chicken farmers so that we can buy our meat from them.
Just look at this face. Nope. Couldn't do it.
