D.O.P.-T.

I understand (either from Pat or from Wikipedia, probably the former) that the helix pomatia snails we have here were imported to California from France so people could eat them. So I shouldn't be surprised they really like my little grapevine. I keep having to pull em off it (I toss them through the chainlink onto the neighbors' grass, which mostly survives at the fenceline). Babies, too; I haven't noticed baby snails anywhere else in our yard.
