That's a lovely garden you have there! Looks like you'll have a lot of cherries.
"Slug hunting" has been a major part of how we have kept ours very healthy. We keep a big 20L bucket in the garden with soapy water; just pick up the slugs and dump them in there... at just before sunset we could often find 40-50 of them... a year later we find maybe one a week.
Thanks @denmarkguy!
If the birds don't get to them first :D
The slugs thing is so frustrating. I don't want to kill them, but I also don't want my entire garden to be eaten. I think I've made a real dent in their population in the backyard by now though, so less killing is required :-)
