My season ended in May this year. Unusually cold wet weather, (it was unusually cold, it's usually wet), kept the plants slow growing early in the month and I did not want to put up my cloches because of windy storms predicted right after I planted. The wind came with an endless string of storms. Along with that came slugs. At least I think they were slugs. They could have been slimey legless vegetarian dachshunds. I swear the one I speared while it was taking a last bite through the stem of my 1467 Perham plant snarled and snapped at me. I've been at this game too long to be making rookie mistakes like not putting out slug bait right away, but I couldn't find it on the shelf in the garage and forgot about picking some up until it was too late. I started a couple more 673's and stuck them out there last weekend, but I entertain no hope of having anything other than a modest yard ornament for Halloween.
