Give them an inch ...

My garden is a slug and snail sanctuary. It's not intentional. (No, really.) The greedy gastropods usually confine themselves to decaying vegetation, doing a great job of recycling, but sometimes they get carried away. Now the garden snails have gone too far. They're feeding on my Haemanthus. The bastards!
