Pesticides and Natural Predators: Gardeners should limit the use of pesticides. Gardeners should keep in mind that Geese frequent the garden area and prepare accordingly.
Crops: Trailing vines such as pumpkins and watermelons, and shading crops such as corn, should be planted after careful consideration so as not to impede upon neighboring plots.
