A population decline

Only found 15 slugs within the fenced area of the garden. Found another 30 or so outside near the house so there is still a substantial population. Disturbed four "couples" trying to have a quiet evening of it -- harshed their mellow but good. Slug nookie interruptus... Tomorrow, I am going to weed-wack under the cherry trees and roundup a couple more beds for next year. Chard and lettuces are doing great in the warm weather and the maters seem to be coming around. Peas and beans are off running up the trellis. Had some fun conversations at my local tonight. Back home, surf a bit and then head off to bed. Heading out to the Blacksmithing conference Thursday -- I have attended every one since 2006. They are starting to develop a National Curriculum in preparation for licensing and I need to attend in order to get in on the ground floor. Some amazing work being done and some amazing teachers. I'll be bringing the laptop and will post photos.
