I've spotted a few slugs on my flowers and basil when I check in the morning after it rains. Since I planted early, I'm thinking the hot and dry summers will keep them away. I use Ollas in my raised bed, which might attract them. Should I be worried about these slugs ruining my plants?

Trust me, slugs can be super destructive. If you notice a lot of them, you might want to take action, like using diatomaceous earth around your plants!
Only be worried if you're already concerned! Slugs can definitely mess up young plants and seedlings, but if you're cool with what’s going on in your garden, let them do their thing! ?
I wouldn’t stress too much unless they really start causing damage. A couple here and there shouldn’t be a big deal—just enjoy your garden for now!
Exactly! But if slugs become a real problem, you might want to consider some preventive measures.
Yeah, totally! Just keep an eye out, and if it gets worse, you can always adjust your approach.
