Margaret, I love everything about your garden and we share the love of many of the same plants but the snakes you can have. Stomping or no stomping.

Welcome, Norma. Yes, they are disconcerting…but I am screwing up my courage and learning to be at ease (at least a bit more) and just thank them instead of scream and run. I am big on the “stomp around first” method of warning the snakes, which usually send them off away from where I want to work. Hope to see you soon again.

I think I can walk across the garden on the tops of slugs and snails without touching the ground at all this year. It also means I have lots of snakes. I appreciate their help, but dislike being startled by something slithering away as I reach for a weed.
