Both field and Spanish/killer slugs are highly active. Water the plants in the morning so they’re dry by evening. Take a tour of the garden in the morning and at night, and hunt for Spanish slugs. Chop them in half with a spade, a pair of scissors, or other sharp implement; you can then leave them on the ground.

Keep an eye out for cabbage moths. When white moths flutter around in the garden, it’s time to inspect the undersides of cabbage leaves. White moths mean that cabbage butterflies and cabbage moths have probably started laying their eggs. Cabbage butterflies’ larvae are green and measure about 1 ½" (3 ½ cm) long; cabbage moths’ larvae are also green but are only ⅓" (1 cm) long. Both pierce cabbage plants with their gnawing.

Sow beans now if you haven’t had the time so far, or if the weather didn’t allow it. The soil must be at least 53.6ºF (12ºC). Help the sprouting along by soaking the beans in water overnight.
