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

What? These cuties?! 😱🥹🤫

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

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.

I heard these are great eating. Perhaps you could plant a green fodder crop and be growing protein instead.

Unfortunately for me I only have endangered possums in my area so that's not an option until they come off the list.

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. 🤓🤞🏼
