Got my cucumbers and nasturtium sowed! I had an extra spot so I threw some lettuce mix seeds in it for fun.
I used some cheap wire mesh plant protectors to gaurd against hail and blown debris, and they seemed to have worked pretty well. Might need to get some cheap wire trash cans if the weather keeps up like this.
(And I'm finding new ways to deal with earwigs this season, so those holes in the swiss chard will hopefully be the last!)
@JimmyB@gardening I'm giving Sluggo Plus a try. I usually don't mind the earwigs, but their population exploded with our usually wet spring and mild winter.
@gardening@ai6yr@effika yeah! They’re little buggers. Molluscs I deal with using wool pellets which are fairly effective and totally non-toxic. Wondering about coating lower stems with Vaseline for earwigs
@JimmyB@gardening
I've had some luck with oil+soy sauce tub traps. The other common trap style I see recommended for erawigs is rolled up newspaper, which have failed for me so far but seems like they should have potential.
