  Ah, Emy. You see, we had no identifiable plants--and still don't other than an unplanned palm tree (it was an accident--more on that later) and various potted African Violets. And dead Basil. So, snails are evidently not a problem. As to your MSG reactioin, where'd you get it? My daddy is allergic to MSG. We order all our Chinese food with no MSG, and he can't even eat Sour-Cream-And-Cheddar Chip, which are one of my fovorites. What a shame, there's more for me! !
