At low tide the living young mussels are exposed to air and sunlight. Taken at the Poquott beach off Van Brunt Manor Road on 3/7/09.

I read somewhere that mussel shells (I'm thinking perhaps zebra mussels, are they the invasive type?) are very useful in the garden.
You dig the crushed shells into the dirt around and under the bulbs that are susceptible to being munched upon by squirrels, moles, etc.
The razor sharp edges of the shells organically discourage predation upon your bulbs.
Having lost many oriental lilies over the years I like this idea.
That's an interesting idea.
I wondered why the sea gulls were not there plucking up the mussels. They drop them on the road from on high to crack them. Clams too.
We don't have zebra mussels yet, thank goodness. These are the ordinary eating kind.
