Unspeakable

One cannot, I fear, devote an entire blog to slugs, but really, they are awfully interesting as well as appalling.  Normally nocturnal, they were all over the place, all daylight long, the last few days in the damp grass and under the grey skies.  This early evening, here is a slug trying to eat a rock.

It's pretty surprising that they have time to seek out and eat my little vegetable plants when they are otherwise engaged in either eating or travelling across a 3-foot tall rock.
