I am currently winning the garden battle with the gopher, the chipmonks ( yes chipmonks) , powery mildew, and rust. I've seen very few slugs and snails.
But..., there is always a but with gardening, something that I cannot find is eating my cabbage. Sometimes the end of leaves but usually holes in the middle. Whatever it is , it is never present when I look and it is also chewing the $#@! out a form of wild plaintain that is a persistent weed here.
Any ideas what it might be?
