Escargot · species reference

The brown garden snail — the escargot species, and the same animal California gardeners curse. Wants damp, shade, and calcium; about ten months to market size. PERMIT: APHIS-regulated as a plant pest almost everywhere; California's naturalized population makes its rules the exception, not the model.
