A few days ago I replanted the beans. Last night I put out bowls of beer and drowned a couple dozen more snails. The sprouts are pushing out now. I went out with the flashlight and found one big honker snail oozing that direction and an insidious but just as destructive little snail on the move. I'm afraid there is an uphill battle to get something tough enough over there to resist the snails. I am going to start some in the house and transplant them when they're bigger. Keep a succession of beans going out there.
