Topic: slugs
I blanched three more sinkfuls of kale and harvested and froze more saskatoons (serviceberries). The Evans (Bali) cherries and raspberries are ripening and I snitched a few and ate them. The dinosaur kale and red russian are doing the best this year. The winterbor and starbor and just sitting there. But it's not a banner year for either.
The swiss chard, on the other hand, is doing the best ever, as is my lettuce. There are tons of slugs on the lettuce but they are not eating it! I've never had lettuce this late anymore, it's usually devoured by slugs. I have no explanation for the lazy slugs. They don't look skinny, just inactive.
