Well, the snakes are fine, but there are also vipers, I haven’t seen a hedgehog since I did my military service in Örebro.

I understand both of you, after seing close up a slug eating the buds on one of my flower plants, i declared a war against them.
But, i find it a little “macabre” to see them twist in agony and salt, but, after my experiments with a more humane way- i tested some drops of concentrated hydrocloric acid (i tell you, they screamed- or more like the squeking a log on fire sometimes sounds)
Salt is the way to go…

In Europe, you can get beneficial nematodes, Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita. They kill slugs. They aren’t available in the US because they are afraid they will attack native snails and get into the wild and will harm the environment.

I never thought about there being snakes in Sweden. Especially vipers. We have only one semi-poisonous rattle snake here in my area but I’ve never heard of anyone seeing one in person. Otherwise some garter snakes which are good for the garden as long as I don’t inadvertently cross paths with one and shit myself. I’m not a fan of even little snakes, but they do eat slugs and bugs.

My thoughts too Tom. I know there are vipers, even more north then us but I never saw one. Never ever saw a snake in our country, viper is very rare overhere. Didnt see one in Croatia either (good for me, they are very poisonous overthere). Found a Natrix almost on top of a dry mountain, that surprised me too.

Won’t be long now before the trees are bare. Luckily half of them are evergreens, so winter isn’t too dreary.

, thats a pretty cool name.
I guess i have to take a trip to Dalarna and visit you JO, now we have met 2 times, and i haven’t checked out your car/cars enough yet.
It’s probably Johans fault. I need to visit him too.

Oh Inquiring minds want to know dates!! 
I swear I hear faint whispers of a lonely tracked machine calling my name, but also warning me about a legendary man living in the forest, that wields two shiny long chainsaws and can run like the wind (or at least faster then I). lol
