Snails bloody love it. I put mine (they're in a pot) in the middle of a pile of gravel while I was away for a week. It grew yellow flowers which were the only thing not eaten by bastard red beret snails.
Well thats' English Snails for you.
They've got that never say die attitude that their Gallic neighbours seem to lack.

Aye, the bastards. My garden is awash with the feckers. Snail pellets seem a bit unsporting though. Guess I'll keep on using the shotgun to cull the little shelled swine.
I,m a first time grower this year. Got a marrow on the go which is a work competition thing with a weigh in down the pub when ready (anyone got any good tips?). I have also got a load of tomatoes going.
Am one of 25 people out of 150 who put in for a new allotment that's just been given the go-ahead by the local council. They drew names out of a hat 2 days ago but aren't telling the lucky ones until the end of July as they have to have the allotment rules ratified by the full council!

Gravel? Should have added a couple of rings of salt.

I had it under good authority they couldn't crawl over it. Presumably that was wrong. Gr. But salt would have just washed away in the rain while I was away. *Reloads shotgun*

If you stamp on a big one, just behind the neck, their guts explode out of their heads. A bit labour intensive but satisfying.
The snails in my garden are sneaky.
Everytime I go down to water the plants they scarper before I get there.
The little bastards
