20th April - General Update


No slow worms today. And nothing particularly sprouting. The beans and peas are holding up well, but not thriving... Some of the peas have been slugged, but not too many casualties. I feel like we're waiting now - for the potatoes, onions, carrots, chives. I think I put some parsnip in too, but can't remember where. Ah, so there is a reason for planning / labelling...

The dark stripes are piles of "pro-gro" earthing up the potatoes. Four big trugs (40 litre I think) for £1. Bargain. If only my soil didn't look quite so wimpy in comparison.

even in april its kew gardens in comparison with my small parsley plant on the kitchen windowsill...
just wondering if you've tried any of those organic nematode slug predator type pellets yet?
