RE: The bastard snail

Your greens look so beautiful. And that snail ahhmmm... got what it asked for. 🐌

Meal plan sounds 👌! It's hard to grow veggies now here in the UAE coz it's so hot like the sun just decided to take residency here, so we don't have anything at the moment. My basil seem to be thriving though I'm not sure for how long. But during good months we get to grow some pumpkins, tomatoes, etc. And yep it's a different feeling when we get to eat what we sow. Fulfilling.

It all looks pretty good except for the little chomps out of my cabbage.

I know the UAE is hot and that probably prevents much growing at the moment. I'd imagine tomatoes to go pretty well there with the sunshine. Do you have to shade them a little though?

Also, any bastard snails over there? Lol.

Yep, we have to put net over the plants to provide a bit of shade but otherwise they are good during the cool months here.

LOL. I don't think I've seen snails pestering our garden. The place is too dry for snails to thrive. So far there had been caterpillar, grasshoppers, and I don't know that those tiny black bugs that infested my basil. They seem to suck the life out of the leaves so quick.

We do the same here as we get up to 47C in summer.

The little scallywags are all at my house eating my cabbages!

It seems you have your share of scallywags though, I hope you make some of them fly.

I hope you make some of them fly.

We have a big bush near the house which the kids appropriately named the "caterpillar city" because there's really a lot of them on there. We were lucky to see the "magic" happen when hubs brought one chrysalis inside the house. 😂

I like caterpillars...My eyebrow's resemble them. I like the sound of that caterpillar city...Maybe someday my eyebrows will get to go there. 😂

I can imagine the feeling..

Seeing it pass through all the stages

Yes! It's a great experience for everyone in the fam. We witness the "magic" right before our eyes. ✨
