You know snails will eat your garden, right? They're fun to look at until you realize they're the reason the leaves in the garden look like someone fired buckshot into them.
The ratio of snails to edible foliage in my backyard is very low, and so far, they've stayed out of my vegetable garden. I'd be much more worried if the little guys didn't have the entire lawn to chew on, not to mention the bittersweet and other weeds, before they get to stuff I actually value.
ETA: While weeding this morning, I discovered that apparently the columbines are the snails' preferred food. Make of that what you will.
