Big Drama in the Garden! - Slug Alert!!!!!

Oh no! You heard it first here. Slugs have invaded the garden. They are preying on the flower and eating the fruit of the pumpkin plants. The plants are loosing their flowers that turn into the pumpkins. Tomorrow I will try to de-snail the garden. I looked on a website and they said to spread sand around the plants. Slugs do not like sand. Oh my. Depressing. I hope it is not too late! Where do they even come from?????
