On baking days, we have a lot of eggs and lemon peels. So far, I've been crushing the egg shells to spread on the soil to hopefully deter snails and slugs. We received several colorful mayana (coleus) plants and some leaves...

I am watching an incredible show about eating snails.

marguicha @marguicha (230334) • Chile 19 Oct 19

I have eaten snails only once in my life and they were canned snails. I did not find them so good. Then we had good abalone in my country and they were much better. Later on, an owner of a plant nursery told me that several...

Have You Killed Snails In Your Life?

Thelma @thelme55 (79311) • Germany 31 Jul 16

I have and I murdered more than a dozen of them. Since it was raining almost everyday, my garden was a bit flooded. I was glad it was not all part of the garden. It was only the part where the KangKong (water spinach) vegetables...

Fairys in the gallery

Jessica Tierrablanca @Jot2me (140) • Adams, Tennessee 17 Jan 16

My fairy house finally made it to the gallery last week. And was welcomed warmly luckily for me. The lighting there was much better than in my house for pictures. I managed to really get some of the detail in these shots.
