Nice weather outside so far. I'm going to try to get a few seeds planted while it is nice. I also want to set up some snail traps to deal with some pesky snails/slugs that think it's ok to eat my cucumber seedlings.

copper tape. Swear by that shit. (it basically reacts to the slug/snail slime to create a mild galvanic reaction. Tiiiiny lil' electric fence)

If you don't have defined borders I've done very well cutting down an old pot to fit around the plant like a retention collar and just taped that.
