corn

The corn is sprouting! And getting chewed on. Cleared away all the leaf litter and helicopter seeds around there and put out more slug beer- fresh, undiluted this time. Already as I went in for the evening saw many slugs crawling into it. The slug patrol seems to be working; every morning and evening kid and I check for slugs on the plants and under boards, and drown them. Few days ago we picked two to five slugs off almost every lettuce head; today only one or two off every other head. Numbers seem to be falling.
