Sorry, this has nothing to do with Entity Framework.

This is about garden slugs! I've been having some problems with the slugs decimating the Romaine in my garden. Since my husband wouldn't let me use any of his fancy beer to lure them away, I used the next trick I learned about - "over ripe" yogurt.

I put it in a small yogurt container, dug a whole in the corner of my garden and placed the container in there so that the top was level with the ground.

Yesterday I went out there and it looked like every slug in Vermont had heard about the awesome yogurt being served up on Moody road. They were coming out of the tall grass surrounding the garden and I think there must have been 50 there.

Whoa - big mistake. Now all of those slugs know about my romaine! I probably should have put that yogurt a bit farther from the garden.  It's similar to when people very cleverly buy those "bag a bugs" to lure Japanese Beetles away from their flowers. But the scent in those sacks is so powerful that it draws Japanese Beetles from far away. We've trained our neighbors not to use them. So far so good this year - the roses are blooming and actually sticking around!

I went out this morning to take a picture of the slugs because it was so bizarre and was surprised to find they were all gone. It was like a big frat party had just dissipated and to add to the image, there were two slugs that were slowly slugging there way away from the yogurt container back into the weeds that surround the garden.

The real goal was that they were supposed to fall in there and drown (I know - murderer! All for a head of lettuce!) but instead they drained the yogurt and headed off. At least the mass of slugs wasn't attacking the lettuce. But I'm sure they'll be back!  EEEEEW.
