Thank you. I'm considering that maybe I missed some important steps that I should have done for pest control. I had a bad snail and slug problem too, so covering with plastic over the winter should kill off any snail eggs that might be in there that I haven't gotten? I was alla thinking my bed placement could have been better in my yard, ugh, I felt like I planned so well but now I wish I did it all different this year. I can't do anything too permanent though because my husband could get orders to move to a new base any time really lol

Covering with clear plastic from the time you clean up until you are ready to prep for planting. Not just for the winter. You need to give the sun plenty of time to heat up, cool down, heat up, etc. under the plastic so pathogens are killed.
