Got slugs? Two cold weather greens for the garden that slugs leave alone!
I live in the Pacific Northwest, on a heavily forested piece of property. My slug population is out of control, and I've been constantly reviving my gardening efforts to keep slugs at bay.
Recently I've grown two greens in my vegetable garden, and neither one of them has had any hint of slug damage! It is unusually cool in the Northwest, and these greens grown happily, unlike most lettuce varieties. The lettuce grows pretty slow, which makes them more prone to slug attacks.
Check out my posts on Miner's lettuce and Corn salad.
