Ducks LOVE slugs. And of course, it’s rumored slugs love beer enough to drown themselves in it. And ducks seem to enjoy the marinated slugs. Is this how Oregon Duck fans got started drinking beer?

Interesting article. I am fighting some unknown pest with my lone peach tree. I don’t know who the culprit is, but it’s destroyed my entire crop of peaches this year.

Back to the Internet for more research!

We live in an instant gratification society, which can be good – or at least gratifying. But it can be bad too. I’m hoping people will see alternatives to fast fixes that aren’t so good – in the long run. It’s like fixing a hole in the wall with toothpaste, it fills the hole-for a minute-but you should really take the time to mix up plaster to do the job right.

Organic gardening and the processes take time, and you have to think long term – “conventional” gardeners have to realize this before giving up their quick-fix chemicals.
