All my dahlias are stumps from the slugs. I've performed a couple of late night culls but it really needs a week of solid de-molluscing. I've never noticed them going for my gladioli though, the leaf is quite solid compared to other soft new growth. I have a few corms in pots which I dug up last year with the intention of planting out but I just left them, worked great.

The slugs/snails make direct sowing a very frustrating/disappointing endeavour. Considering starting gladioli in pots then transferring to the ground, or is that a stupid idea?
