I have noticed that the summer brood of snails has hatched. The teeny little guy/gals were hiding in my chard. Before they decide to hibernate for the winter (usually starting in November) it would be a good idea to bait one last time with Sluggo.
The white crown and golden crown sparrows are back. They are notorious for pecking and eating green leafy vegetables, peas (both edible and flowering), Iceland poppies and any late sprouting seedlings. Many gardeners think bugs are the culprit. Wrong. If birds are a problem, lightweight harvest guard or netting can be applied at night and unrolled the next day. The vegetable loving birds are most active in the early morning hours.
