I feel really bad. My dad said we were gonna get some garden work done, I thought it was just gonna be 1 or 2 guys digging up some weeds in the backyard. A whole crew showed up with this power washer type thing and have annihilated fucking everything, flowers and all, backyard, side of the house, frontyard. There's nothing left but wet dirt and rock. If I had known, I would've brought all the snails I could find in until it was over. How do I feel less guilty? I just watched them all get shoa'd and their home become a post-apocalyptic wasteland. We had those beautiful stripey yellow ones too, grove snails I think they're called.
When I was 4-5 we had a small garden pond that had tadpoles in it. One time my dad pumped all the water out and left the tadpoles to die on the ground. He said it was because they "attract snakes". I screamed and cried and went through the pile of corpses trying to save any that were still alive.
>be dad
>wake up
>decide to glass the entire garden
What exactly was the meaning of this decision lmao. And why did he need your help when he had already hired a bunch of goons?
The son was probably being a sperg putting snails on his face and rolling around in dog shit and he wanted his line to continue so he had to issue a wake up call.
What a weird fantasy to have
I heard snail slime is good for your face
Why did he do it?
What's he planning to do in the garden?
this kind of stuff just kind of happens anon, like when you look down and see ants which means you probably stepped on a few by accident.
Not really, only psychopaths powerwash their garden
Be me
Travelling with my bike
See snake on the side of the highway
Pickup a big leaf, grab the snail and place it on the middle of the road
Watch a car btfo it
Haha fucking gay
Snail snail snail why did i said snake
ARGGHHHHHH
first they came for the snails, and I did nothing
F for the snails
They're resting in snaily heaven now
The snails would genocide whatever you plant you dummy. One of my favorite activities as a kid was hunting snail in my grandma's garden and throwing them in the street to either bake or get run over.
Mine was to paint the shells of live snails and then just release them randomly all over the neighborhood.
huh that'd be interesting to observe
>The snails would genocide whatever you plant
Plant natives and you'll never have to worry about it.
>snails can't eat plants in their native habitats
How are you capable of being this retarded while still having the ability to type out coherent sentences?
>snails can't eat plants in their native habitats
They can, but the plants in their native habitats are more than capable of coping with it.
Put snails on chicory and it will spring right back after its leaves are eaten, put snails on some Hosta and it will get obliterated.
How do you explain weeds still gowing in areas with big populations of snails and slugs?
Population fluctuates with food availability
>lots of weeds
>lots of snails
>snails overeat due to reproducing too much
>not many weeds
>many snails die of hunger, not many snails
>weeds regrow, lots of weeds
>snails overeat due to reproducing too much
>not many weeds
This simply doesn't occur in nature.
Bare soil is impossible to find in the wild unless you're in a thick dark forest, a rocky place or somewhere extremely cold or hot.
Because weeds and most natives suck. There's a reason we don't bother to grow shit that not even snails will eat unless they have to.
>most natives suck
I doubt you can even identify five native plants of your landscape.
That’s slugs
bro dad didn't even plant anything though
Why did your dad fuck up his yard?
Convenience I guess, he's not big on nature. Silver lining, I do get to start the garden again from scratch now. What should I plant? I live in the UK so the climate that implies ought to be factored in.
This is Karl Pilkington’s childhood type stuff. Have any more dad stories, anon?
That's how you get poltergeists in your house. Albeit slow ones.
Very underrated anon.
Watch it or you'll be next, boy.
