Today's snapshot of our garden. (Click to enlarge.) The Brandwine Pinks (in the cage) are about six feet tall with maters in progress, our Lemon Queen sunflowers are close to eight feet, our borage plants (on the right) are pretty tall too, our Cherokee Purples are doing very well, and our peppers look okay, as well as the basil (however something is munching on it; maybe the same critters...slugs...that are eating away at the lettuce which used to be a beautiful stance between the marigolds and tomatoes). Pole beans growing up the cage are looking okay, and the sweet potatoes in the pots are cooking, and green onions are starting to pop up, and that's about it. Sure is fun! Except for the slugs on the lettuce. :(
It all sounds great except the slugs. I wash and save my tuna cans for slugs. Bury them in the ground so that the top is about level with the ground. Pour in the beer.
Slugs love beer go in can and can’t get out and die. Take out the dead bodies and dispose of them every day, replenish the beer.
