. I stepped out of the backdoor last night
after dinner to find five ducks in the garden (they fled on sight). I
can see why they should be there (all greens and garlic planted, many
small greens which I am sure can interest a duck). I found no evidence
of damage, maybe they had just arrived. How do I discourage them?

Ducks are great slug and bug eaters, if you have that problem, so might
actually be of some assistance to you.

I doubt it. Right now the lettuce is 3 inches high, at its tenderest.
The slugs used to be a major pest but years of Sluggo applications
have eliminated them. The cabbage caterpillars are not there yet. My
only hope is that they are after the earthworms, which are incredibly
dense in my garden. It has rained every night in the last five nights.
