This is slightly disturbing story. Busy outside yesterday, planting seeds on an unusually warm February afternoon … and went to get the watering can to water them in before bringing inside to help them to germinate. the watering can felt like it was filled with rain water but nothing came out and because thought it might be a wayward slug or two crawled inside – turned the watering can over and banged it in the ground.
There was an extreemily bad smell like when comfrey leaves are left in water to soak and then some leaves and what looked liked white sprouting seeds fell out. Looked a big closer and then couldnt help it, but ran screaming back into the house and washed my hands many times and my clothes and went out today and bought a new watering can and probably keep it inside and throw away all my planted seeds and put very very long gloves on next time
Two drowned mice fell out of the watering can, wonder if the second one fell in helping the first. Perhaps found a better way to catch mice populations – leave a plastic watering can with some chocolate or peanut butter in, where you want to catch mice.
