ravages of war

There is a battle going on in my backyard. A few days ago the snails were winning. They started on the amaryllis leaves and then had the audacity to eat the petals off the Hippeasterum Minerva. My "miracle" petunias (the ones purchased as purple which had red flowers) were nothing but sticks!. This morning the battle count was

Sandy - 27 corpses

Snails - 0

Thank you, metaldehyde!
