My Guineas only eat my peas (probably because I only had peas in
the garden when there were no bugs and nothing else green). I fenced them out
with three foot netting while the plants were small). Now they have free range
and pretty much only get the bugs, except for a few pea leaves and a few
nibbles on garlic tops. The only bug I have found so far this year is a couple
of cabbage worms (small at that) on the Russian Red Kale. I will always have
the Guineas because of the tick problem here. I love them. Maury Sheets Woodland Produce Southern jersey From:

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of mongotrout AT mchsi.com The only thing that the Guineas ever have bothered at my
place is green beans. They have a love for the leaves on green bean
plants. I fence them out of the bean patch with 20" chicken
wire. They have never flown over the fence to get to the beans, not yet
anyway..... We have a bad Japanese beetle problem almost every year, and
the Guineas keep those in check also. Chuck SW Missouri -------------- Original message
