Hi,

It's my first year getting back to gardening after a long while. New place and I keep finding my little seedlings munched on with no sign of the culprit? Can you solve the mystery?

The leaves except for the stem are eaten away and this morning I found some mucusy film. I've seen snails and slugs around. Is that what's doing the damage? Whatever it is, what can I do about it?

Thanks!
