I have memories of my mom walking thru the garden during the mornings in her bathrobe with an old rusty kitchen knife that she had bent in the shape of an ‘L’. Her knife was a designated killing weapon intended for slugs; without hesitation.

Gardening truly is a journey of discoveries.
Some people say they have a black thumb and don’t garden, but I wonder if it has more to do with what your specific planting situation is? Growing garden vegetables is not a slam dunk: soil type & ph, sunlight and water are important factors. If you’re going to invest in growing your own produce, focus on putting the right plant in the right place, at the right time. You may find your “black” thumb is garden dirt and a green thumb is underneath!
