Garden Slugs and Garden Plants

I have pictures! Please forgive the poor quality, my cell phone's camera sucks and I lost my Photoshop when my old computer crashed. Wait, there's an online program for that.. Heh, the next ones will probably be better then!

First, I set out the beer traps last night and this is what I found this morning.

Lots of them in the saucers. They appear to prefer Bud Lite to Guinness (thank God).
Scooped them out and left them to dry in the sun.
These ones were mostly between an inch and an inch and a half though
in some of the other containers there were two inch ones. Ick



More slugs in beer filled saucers

Still more slugs in a beer filled saucer. I have six of these out, plus two
beer bottles with the dregs left in. I hope these slimy frat boys drown in
their own vomit (as opposed to real frat boys, who I hope outgrow drinking).

 This is my sage from last year that I planted near the house. It seems to be doing quite well and has started to put out little leaves, you can see them as the bright green ones and I'm very hopeful that it will grow quite well. I'm considering whether or not I should buy some other herbs, such as lavender or rosemary,or just stick with my oregano, thyme, basil, cilantro, and mint. 

This is a shot of my garden. It still looks leafy and brown in this (terrible) picture but I assure you things *are* growing. Fro some reason when the sun is up my camera completely washes out the color . That being said, if you look in the bottom center of the picture you can see my peas growing.

 

This is actually one of my small spinach plants. See! things are growing. I feel as though they're growing very slowly though. Speaking of growing, I read up on broccoli and I think I may have put mine out while they were too small. That might explain why they were gobbled up. I'm still trying. Hopefully it's not too late for them.

 My yard. I know, it needs mowing, but it's all purple and white with the pretty little flowers! Awwww!

 And Finally, my cat, sitting outside in the flowers with me, and enjoying the company. He loves to wander around and distract me while I'm in the garden. He thinks it's wonderful.
