Those pesky foxes

I planted my carrots and runner beans last night. Just before it got dark I went out with my torch to go 'slug picking'. I found several of the beasties inching their way to my marigolds. They were soon dispatched with some salt. I've ordered some nematodes in order to get rid of them organically.

The weather has turned thundery again. This morning it was raining heavily. I went out to see it there was any slug damage. No damage by the slimy beasts, thankfully, but the foxes have run off with my home-made 'beer trap'. They also have been digging where I planted my beans yesterday. Maybe they were looking for slugs to eat?
