    Today I planted a row of lettuces along the edge of the potato patch and I prepared the next strip and planted 5 cabbages, 2 curly kale and 3 chard. I made a seed bed and sowed early purple sprouting broccoli. There are only 2 of us so I don't need masses.

    Annuals that slugs and snails dislike

    Not heard of those before, I have some slug collars. Maybe I need to upgrade them with a battery pack. :)
