Last year’s semi-successful garden attempt has turned into a mulched area with two blueberry bushes and a orange tree sapling. Recently while weeding, I discovered a snail shell and wondered where the snail was. I didn’t see him in there. I wonder if he found a nicer shell for his home?

Snails grow their homes and can’t leave them for bigger ones like hermit crabs do. Maybe a bird got him? When my dad had chickens in his yard, we showed the nephews how to find garden snails and give them to the chickens. The chickens loved it.
