Slugs!!!

[hypnophil]

I went up to the plot yesterday morning after work, to see how my psb was getting on, and i saw a few slugs on my cabbage, then a few more on my cauli and to my amazement they are even in my polytunnel, there are loads everywhere!!!!!!! i squashed a billion eggs last year and am i being nieve or is it a bit early to have slugs eating everything? i was hoping not to have to slug proof anything til about late march.
I used to feel bad about squashing them, and snails, but now i'm gonna get a pot of salty water and pick em off one by one.....

Was out quite a bit last weekend and don't remember seeing any slugs and as you say it is a bit early for them. Never worry about squashing them at all, much less risky than poisioning them as no risk to anything that eats them.
