Caught you!

Back from the allotment by the front door, a tiger slug lurking.

He was enormous, ok a bit pretty but he is now exploring next doors garden and not mine.

Peas are in!

Despite the shed diversion, the netting has been put up and the peas are in.
Grow well little beauties.

Disaster!!

Finally made it to the allotment, full of motivation to do the netting.

Something about the shed looked weird, then my neighbour told me it had blown over and he had stood it back up! Nightmare it was leaning and no longer grounded on the foundation posts.

Poor shed, couldnt leave it like that so reluctantly lay it on it side until I can work out what to do.

Got it

Brilliant, I have my netting, the peas are on the cusp of giving up in their current pots and its pouring down again!
Hopefully will have a break tomorrow to sort them out.
Wilkinsons is new fave shop for garden sundries, 6m of net for 3quid absolute bargain, also snuck in some modules and canes for 2quid as well, couldnt resist.

Off shopping

Am off to get netting today and hoping to sort out the peas later, fingers crossed it is not too wet when I get there.

Still need netting and canes

Still not managed to get the netting and canes. Good job its raining as perfect excuse for not sorting it out.

Will be sorting at weekend, promise.

Lots of lovely rain

Ok, so I am behind on work on the allotment and there has been nothing done over the weekend but the lovely rain has arrived. Really although I am doing nothing, something much more important is doing it work.

Lots of lovely rain.....

Caught the blighters

Bit of late evening watering in greenhouse and caught 4 little snails. OK they were the small pretty ones but they still have no place munching my plants.

Needless to say they went for a little fly into another bit of the garden.

More seeds on the go

Planted some green stripe marrow, pepper and winter squah this evening.

Sorry Feebs but borrowing your windowsill again.

These are all new ones for me, so no idea id will be successful or if they will be yummy.

Hardening off triffids

The borlotti beans have suddenly had a growth spurt. Feebs is happy now they are out of her window and outside getting used to the weather.
They are a bit tangled but I need canes before I can plant them, definitely a job for this week.

Flying slugs

Despite religiously checking the greenhouse, the carrots have all been munched. Whilst sorting the pots out at the weekend I found the culprit.

Coming face to face with a slimy brown slug about 3inches long sitting amongst its munched plants was not pleasant. Time for a maiden flight and good riddance! Need to sow more carrots now and be more vigilant.
