Last year I built a coldframe. My wife moved three flats of marigolds into
it and something promptly ate the tops off of every one of them.... I
didn't think anything ate marigolds! What do you suppose it was? Slugs?
Cutworms? Mice?

Any suggestions to avoid the issue this year BEFORE I move plants out this
year?

If the tops were completely gone I would suspect slugs or large numbers of
some kind of snail. Sprinkling salt around the outer and inner frame should
discourage both of these gross slimy little individuals.


Thanks
