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

Hi di.. sorry to have brilliantly confused you.. I'd seen the snail, but had it 'disposed off' (as in send it flying out of my greenhouse) before I got the camera...

I likes this picture as the little seedling stands so proud with its' "arms" wide open, as if to say..."Here I am!"
