Discodave - wish I had your nerve - makes me feel sick to squelch them! May stick them out somewhere for the birds to eat though, once OH has done the deed on them

Must be nematodes - worked brilliantly on my garden last year.

Can't wait 'til soil is warm enough to try again this year - was turning over some beds and adding manure yesterday and found several mini slugs waiting in the undergrowth

 

Flowers we don't like?

Another vote for dahlias

Very heady scent of lilies as they start to turn also makes me ill.

I alo prefer flowers when still alive - though if I ever have cut flowers in the house, it;s usually around my birthday (next week) as I adore yellow spring bulbs, mimosa and anything springlike and bright yellow (husband, take note)

Send me a link Paul, so I can see where you are based - thank you, would love to visit when you re-open.

My garden is a very small urban patch, but the soil is rich clay and free draining, so roses love it and grow very well here.
