Carrots in a polytunnel. Previous sowing either didn't come up or met a slimy end. The slug population in the garden this year seems about infinite for all practical purposes. If I lift a brick, piece of cardboard or wood I must have killed hundreds this spring and still small plants regularly disappear.

I concur, mostly leopard slugs, which supposedly lurk in compost or manure but there's still evidence of munching elsewhere. The pigeons are the worst offenders this year, I've had to net beets and chard which I've never needed to do before.

In previous years most of the damage has been from the three-band slug. The three-band is smaller but appears in larger numbers, whereas the orange does more damage and eats absolutely everything. I'm probably not going to bother growing spring cabbage anymore since they get so infested, even with nematodes and numerous applications of sluggo. Warmer, wetter winters means the slug population isn't reduced by hard frosts and they remain active all winter.
