Liz, put out a shallow bowl with some beer in it and you'll find the slugs all drown themselves at their wild beer party. I also heard recently that you can sprinkle a little yeast and sugar in a bowl of water and accomplish the same thing.

The bird bath froze again last night, so it's still to early for some stuff to go in the yard, but I'm at the point where I need to prune and move stuff. Once the leaves and flowers start I don't have the heart to prune anything, I cherish every bud, even if it is misplaced.
