    Oh…fresh basil, the yummiest of herbs to all the insect kingdom…

    Any number of bugs might have done it…you could try spraying with soapy water.

    Though someone will prorably have a more specific answer for your local situation…

    David – totally did the soapy spray thing. let’s see how that works.

    Vince – are you serious? am i keeping vampires away?

    Renee – you “FEEL” like a slug would do that? my planter is suspended over the deck railing… so maybe not. and vince isn’t you… it’s the commenter above you. you’re funny!

    No, I was the commenter about the slug.. but it posted up as Vince.. unless we posted the exact same thing at the exact same time?

    OOOOHHHH I SEEEEE.. “Vince” is the garlic guy. Somehow it popped up on my slug comment. hmm. Well, slugs can climb UP things.. little ones.. scary!
