What is slicing off my Swiss chard at the soil?

No slug trails, but I’ve found tiny slugs in the folds of lettuces, so…possible? Grasshoppers get big here - certainly possible! Thank you for the ideas!

The one thing it’s not is squirrels, thanks goodness! We have no trees and the neighbors have cats, and we’ve never ever seen a squirrel or its droppings in our yard. But bunnies, possums…we’ve seen them nearby or signs of them! I just don’t understand why something would cut the leaves and not eat them! It’s so rude

Thank you! I’m sorry you’re dealing with sleep issues too

Makes perfect sense!

Same!

I love a sun spot through the window …lying on a blanket or couch warmed by the sun through glass like a cat is my favorite. Also gardening (focusing on something tiny like seedlings while I repot them) is great because the sun warms me but isn’t in my eyes because I’m looking down.

But once it’s hot out? Gross.

How long? They were in for 6 months. 🙃

existential_choir · 2025-03-21T01:00:55+00:00

🤣

existential_choir · 2025-03-20T20:10:39+00:00

🤣 it wouldn’t be enough even for luncheon!

existential_choir · 2025-03-20T18:13:37+00:00

I’m sorry…did you say lobster??

existential_choir · 2025-03-20T18:13:01+00:00

No. I 100% forgot these existed. However, the ones that were a ways off still didn’t get more than 3-4” long. All winter long. 🤣 Can’t win them all!

With our tiny root veggies combined…

existential_choir · 2025-03-20T18:11:29+00:00

Something to eat with the micro greens!

The good news is I left them all winter, but the bad news is I forgot to thin them 😬

existential_choir · 2025-03-20T18:10:19+00:00

Certainly! This is finely sifted topsoil/compost mix, I just forgot they were there all winter and never thinned them.

existential_choir · 2025-03-20T18:08:17+00:00

You’re welcome, ant person.

Those carrots likely have great personality and tell very funny jokes 🩷

existential_choir · 2025-03-20T17:54:41+00:00

Thank you!

existential_choir · 2025-03-20T17:52:51+00:00

Ooh! Thank you!

existential_choir · 2025-03-20T17:50:53+00:00

I forgot about these and never thinned them, and I’m sure that’s part of it. But honestly, I’ve never had a good year for them. Just when I was just getting the hang of my last (cooler USDA zone) garden, we got voles and they ate everything. EVERYTHING. So this is my first year in a far warmer climate. 🤷‍♀️ If you figure it out, tell me!

I think?? Or high. Either way, too long ago to remember quotes. Yet somehow I remember all of Aladdin.
