What kind of animals/insects do you see?

One OS to rule them, one OS to find them:
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Redmond where the shadows lie.

Has it been wet from rain around you? Slugs are bad for eating things you want to grow! Did you see a slime trail near anything? If so, buy a bag of slug pellets, and sprinkle around the plant you want to protect. Try to make a barrier with the pellets, and not put them too close to the plant you want to protect.

I did not think about that slugs. We do have them. I figured it was some furry animal since how it was cut off real nice and neat. Now I have to keep an eye on that and get some slug pellets.
I also we doing some reading on the net about the waterlmelon plant it self. I did not know you are suppose to water it once a week, No wonder I keep getting a lot of flowers and no fruit and once it rain I stop watering it for 3 days and fruit comes out.
I am going to get this right if it's not this year then it's next year. lol
Sorry for going on and on.
Thank you,
Nicky

I sit in my vegetable garden so that I can see them grow.

A sprinkling of ashes should also take care of the slugs and it will add a little potash to the soil.

The steam is the only thing left.
Does anyone no what it is or what I can do to prevent it from occurring?
Thank you in advance,
