@cyclamen I'd like to see your winter cyclamen under the trees. Since you have leafy vegetables, you should build a toad home to eliminate having slugs. If there are no wetlands close by, then take a flashlight and a five-gallon bucket and travel to one after dark. Just listen for the high-pitched trilling sound. You only need one.
Here in Alberta is too cold in winter. I didn't see any slugs in my garden.
Anyway thanks for the advice!
