Warm days, opening tunnel, surprise frost, slugs: who are you gonna call? Night feeding mollusks. Midnight cow.
Disaster this September, I diligently seeded 18 varieties of lettuce, for the second year, to continue with a winter lettuce variety trial. All of the varieties germinated and then the slugs struck. I have started a new garden this year and at first was at a loss. Chipmunk, rodent, slug? It is confirmed--- SLUGS!!!!
Well it is now the first week of November, what to do? I've decided that I will reseed as many varieties as possible along with mache and spinach. After seeding, I will apply a liberal dusting of diatomaceous earth to the soil surface.
Update to follow . . .
