Escargo Garden


So, as I was pulling up the massive amount of overgrown plants in our front flower garden, I found some interesting creatures. Originally, I encountered the typical roley poley and a slough of ugly, white-butt spiders, the occasional daddy long-leg, and some earth worms. But, low and behold, hidden under the overgrown plants under the flower bush, were two snails, each about 2 inches long when moving. Needless to say, this is the last thing I expected to find in the high desert of Reno, NV! Apparently, the combination of overgrowth and automatic sprinkler system caused a sub-tropical rain forest hidden in my front yard!
