| Well, the rain's lovely, and the vegetables are definitely growing now. And
so, it would appear, are the slugsnsnails.
I went out as soon as I got home from work yesterday and picked a dozen or
so off the raised beds. I went out at 7 this morning and picked another
dozen or so. I expect to get the same tonight and the rest of the week. I'm
off on holiday on Friday so it'll be interesting to see how much of my veg
is still extant when I return...

Funny, but I'm not seeing a lot at the moment (I wish I hadn't said
that ...). However I'm trying a new stuff this year - as well as the
copper rings which I use a lot and over the years I've got a nice
collection, I'm going to put down Slug Stoppa from Fito. It's backed
by many organic growers and even the vegan society. I am pleased. Here
a link to it with lots of other kind tips to help your plants grow
whilst being kind to your wildlife :o)
