well things seem to be in hand ( just about ) so far .....
a lot of the plants/seedlings are going beyond their delicate stage which helps i think
in one of Woofers links metaldehyde pellets are the the slightly toxic ones and sure enough that,s what i have.....but i,ve been keeping them to the verges of the garden ( hedge etc) in small amounts
i think the Blitzkrieg a couple of weeks ago curtailed the population , but i can see the remainder zipping up each others little chemical warfare suits and plotting against me ...the only veg they dont seem to like much are young onion sets ...
mmm...i have a couple of bags of out of date coffey ...( not a coffey lover ).....guess it would,nt be any harm to strinkle a bit of that around the beetroot row later ...
on a side note i,v got some real nice basil doing well...it,s got a long grow period ( not like the force fed supermarket option ) and tastes half basil half anniuseed ...should be good for the pasta later
