Tend the food and shelter plants

166. Watch all of your plants to see that they are growing well and that they do not get too tall or too thick.

167. Plants that are too tall or thick stop the dew from reaching the leaves and stop the rain from washing away the dust and the dirt that snails leave when they move about.

168. If you see that the plants are not being wet or washed by dew or rain, cut them back.
