Cool Photos as promised

Photos just taken, i was told by my neighbour that the Brussels have been got at by snails or slugs - i did use organic slug repellant but i think maybe it,s effectiveness is limited. The damage is not bad however, should i take any steps to prevent further damage ?
Regards Hammer

Hi Hammer, yes indeed I viewed your photo's and you have a lovely garden with some great looking potato plants!! Fingers crossed we hope to be able to move to Anglesey or North Wales.

Looking good Hammer, the damage looks like it`s caused by Keel slugs.
