I'm growing lots of snow pea again this season. What will you be growing this coming winter?

Nothing unless I improve my possum-proofing

    Er no. Ours are considerably cuter and a vast menace to my veggie patch

    Awww, what an adorable (and tireless, vigilant, talented) pest patrol you have out yonder! 😍🥳🤙🏼

    edit: I wonder if there's a plant that they especially don't like, so that planting it around the perimeter'd discourage them from crossing that boundary —similar to tobacco vs deer, etc. 🤓🤞🏼

    Last time I tried snow peas they (and the golden gem pumpkin plants) were eaten down to stumps 😩

    I have cutworms, slaters, earwigs, slugs, snails, rats and possums here that do this, it's a pain but I find my biggest losses are to the snails and slugs due to the possums and rats being more focused on my fruit trees.

    I also rotate my chickens and ducks through beds to keep the insects and slugs/snails under control.
