I use a lot of pebbles in my garden, especially around bonsai plants and succulents. I prefer rust colored, white and grey pebbles around plants.
The bigger rocks always adorn the bonsai plants and weeds take refuge under them.
I need to remove these rocks once in a while to clear out the weeds.
Last month I found a couple of small rocks very smooth and nicely shaped in one of my bonsai pots.
I removed them as usual with my bare hands and they were slimy. Then the pebble moved.
I figured that they were slugs not rocks.
I almost threw up. I just can't stand slugs and with the incessant rains they seem to grow in every pot.
I am never seen without gloves in my garden these days.

I was visiting Germany and saw 4 inch long orange slugs there. Just thinking about it takes all the enjoyment out of running barefoot through a garden.
It sure does. Never seen an orange slug before, would be interesting.
Omg four inches????
YES! Ugg.
Lol... I can feel your disgust just from your comment when you saw that they were slugs.
The rainy days are their vacation days, they are seen almost everywhere 😅
Vacation? More like their life's purpose is give people the creeps. LOL
Yikes, I hate the slime.
Haha creeps indeed
Gives me the shivers.
😬😬😬
Gives me the shivers.. hehe
Oups that wasn't nice at all! Usually I don't get disgust easily, especially in the garden but slugs are very disgusting creatures! And I have spent so many hours trying to remove them from the vegetable garden until I realised that it was hopeless. 😥
@fotostef It wasn't nice at all, I can assure you.
Like you I am not one who finds critters in the garden creepy, I often go after them photographing them. However, slugs are a different breed lol .
True, I too can't just get rid of them here on the third floor of my house.
Omg that's so gross!!!! It must have given you a fright... Moving pebbles would freak me out too 😂
Slugs are some of those I don't like to see around but they are plenty especially during the rainy season.
