A slug's breakfast

Can't plant out these junior peas, beans, tomatoes, asters, nicotiana etc because I haven't dug the weeds out of the veg patch/flower bed or forked in the chicken manure pellets.

Don't know if I can be bothered to, seeing as the small slimy creatures have destroyed the last lot I put in; I can't use a hose 'coz they're banned and its a long way to carry a watering can; and I'd rather be doing my weaving (although once I'm out there gardening, I'm happy).
