I'm not sure what he's doing because he didn't seem to be eating the leaves. Click to escargate.
The seedlings I referred to are collard greens and Swiss chard. I planted seeds in pots a few weeks ago so that we could have a fall crop. The seedlings went into the vegetable garden on Monday. So far, so good; they are all upright and happy looking. Pictures to follow.
look at his lovely colors!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty snail...hard to imagine that he could do any damage, but keep an eye on your seedlings.
ReplyDeleteAnd, a national holiday here, too, celebrating Julia Child's 100th birthday date :) ( well, okay... maybe not a NATIONAL holiday... but... still...:))
ReplyDeleteI escargated the photo for full effect- what a lovely creature!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that beautiful shell is stuffed with a slug!
ReplyDeleteJe suis arrivée sur votre blog par un lien sur le blog ruralite.net de mon cousin et bien qu'ayant un niveau d'anglais pitoyable, je comprends vos textes et j'adore votre vision de la France et la manière dont vous la transmettez à vos compatriotes. Désormais je viendrai jeter un œil à votre blog plus souvent.
ReplyDeleteThat's the prettiest snail I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteanne marie, pretty neat, eh?
ReplyDeletevirginiac, this one wasn't anywhere near the seedlings. But I suppose he could be by now...
judy, we celebrated by watching some Julia & Jacques on DVD.
evelyn, hehehe!
mitch, maybe even better stuffed with a little butter, garlic, and parsley...
emanuelle, merci de votre commentaire. J'adore les photos d'Olivier et j'en tire un peu d'inspiration !
starman, the shell patterns vary quite a lot from snail to snail, all very pretty.
