Pineapple express just poured all night. Mild temps- but not much to do out there in the mushy grounds.
I haven't had to bait..but I think that now is the time. Snails must be ready to explode.

Well, now I can actually say we had 2 1/2 inches of rain within 48 hours here. It was great! I'm so happy and my plants are ecstatic! Plants and tree have perked up and look good now.

Winter is not done here, yet. lol! We haven't gotten a lot of rain, so snails are not too active. When we did get the rains a few weeks back there were a few around; however, not as many as usual. I think it's due to the crushed eggshells. YAY! :>))
