Snail season is starting again, they seem to prefer the pimientos.
Gonna use copper tape for my springharvest plants next year, as the snails can do serious damage, although the caterpillars are still cannabis enemy nr.1

I'm using the snail/slug bait. I've had the bastards take a whole planting one year over 100 vegetable and weed seedlings. F 'em. And I'm still getting some nibbles on the fringe

Holes top right in the corner. Slug haven, bated and still. A strip of copper works like a dream I just have too much to protect.?

I squish them(the munching caterpillars), but usually only when they are on the cannabis.

Your garden looks fantastic. What a wonderful view!

Me too, there are just too many...
On other plants i dont mind so much, but cannabis is a no go zone !!
If its a big caterpillar from a butterfly then i move it somewhere on some edible weeds, away from the cannabis plants.

Thanks, yes enjoying the view a lot, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Last year during spring had a lot of problems with snails, springharvest in a mini glasshouse is great, but i need more anti snail measures.
Copper tape seems the best option indeed.
Me too, not sure yet how to protect all veggie seedlings next season.
Snails, birds, mice, it seems they all are waiting for me to start seeding...

Mice/rats

That white box next to the thermometer sends out a high pitched noise they hate (Amazon). Keeps my sm greenhouse safe. Yeah, they have also wiped me out one year, all seedlings, it's always something?

Plants for springharvest are growing in mini greenhouse, not much to see yet so in the meantime here's some pictures from a few years ago.


Kosher Kush x Black Domina, here my pollen chucking turned out real nice, was a delicious smoke.

He man, hope you are well.
Its getting nice in the garden, had my springharvest, now growing some autos and starting with the photoperiods.

First ones i germinated were your Uzbekis, giving them an earlier start as they probably finish early.
Next gonna germinate your Digital Blue Hazeplant, after that maybe the Thai cross.

Also revegging some plants from the springharvest, a Santa Maria that has a delicious sweet smell with some anise and liquorice, a Jack x Sunshine Daydream and a White Runtz.

And gonna plant some more seeds, Purple Kush, Monchi Gelato from a legal grow project in Colombia, Triangle Kush x Grape Cream Cake, and waiting for tester seeds G13 Hashplant x Cinderella Man, Death Coast Diesel x Mad Martigan and Super Silver Haze (Oldsogs) x Oaxaca.

Also growing and eating lots of vegetables from my garden.
Posting some pics later on.

That was from springharvest a (Lemon Pie x Banana Krumble) x Triangle Grape Cake.
Strong lemon smell with a some sweet Bubblegum.
Crossed her with Panama, gonna grow the new cross this season as well.

Made quite a few crosses this spring, thought i chucked just enough pollen for my new projects but i have a few hundred seeds new, must have been very fertile pollen...
