Clever Snail

I know, I wrote about the Taking Flight blog

 that it would be hard to kill snails 

after reading the book sound of a wild snail eating. 

But 

I would like to eat beans in a while to come... 

I do not grow beans to entertain the snails...

So.. I put some snail pellets down 

to kill me "friends"

To deter my cat Robert

 from seeing the lovely fresh compost

 as a place to "poop" 

I covered the raised bed with sticks...

It helped to "fight off" Robert

But

A very clever snail walked

 along those sticks

leaning down

he munched on the tiny leaves

I saw it with my own eyes
