What we have here in CA is the common brown garden snail. What I have read is that the infestation is all the fault of French immigrants who just had to bring their snails with them... http://www.independent.com/new...
I'm not about to start snail farming here, though one person has tried it. http://www.salon.com/2007/07/2... (Yes, I've had escargot a few times. Interesting, but the texture was always a bit rubbery and it is not something that I really care to re-order.)
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
