No embarrassment Oldguy- I thought lizard or snake at first too- I was actually hoping for that since my grandson is a lizard lover and thought it would be great fun to watch them hatch. hoodat- I'm in San Diego too, and yup, snails are a big problem- although I do feed them young ones to my...

Thanks Oldguy- but unfortunately, they are slug eggs :( I looked it up, and yep- exactly what I have or should say had, since I threw them out for the birds. Slugs are something I definitely don't need more of :lol:

Thanks again - I think they are slug eggs- Ugghh!! Someone on backyard chicken showed me and I'm pretty sure its the same thing- darn - I was hoping for something fun to hatch- like cute little lizards or frogs :lol:

Thanks, but I don't think its snail eggs- I've seen those before- these are much bigger and are football shapes - not round. They are strung together end to end- snail eggs are individual. These are more like a frog- or toad- only it's not because those are in water.

I had a "hedge" of society garlic planted in my garden (here in San Diego) as an ornamental. It is a really pretty plant with lovely flower heads. I did not eat it, although I had heard that some used it like chives and the flower petals were edible in salads. Others said it causes stomach...

I'm going to bump this - I've been wondering the same thing?? Anyone tried this here is So-Cal?

I use straw straight from the chicken run/coop, as mulch- even in containers (both food and ornamental) and it keeps the ground cool, and feeds as it breaks down- I've had great results with it used as mulch.

I have been bokashi composting for about 2 years- it is incredible! I made my own after I purchased the first several bags and made enough to last me over a year. I also compost in an open pile, I use vermicomposting in containers, and compost my food scraps with my chicken litter in large 70...
