Aaarrrgggh! Those darn pesky slugs!!!!! My rocket was coming along beautifully, almost ready for picking. Then i went out there yesterday and it has ALL been eaten, just stalks left! I don't remember it being nibbled last year.
I have been stockpiling empty milk cartons to use as cloches. Have got six so far, so have put these over the pathetic remains. Once that was done i spent the rest of the afternoon removing fox poo from beds 2 and 3, lovely. Millie busied herself splashing around in all the puddles and looking for "woodlices" under stones. I also took the "cage" off the onions/garlic/shallots as most of them are a fair size now.
In the evening DP helped me put the "tennis net" up for the peas so i should, weather permitting, get them planted this afternoon. It was late when we had finished, twilight, and just as we were about to go in one of our friendly neighbourhood hedgehogs came out on patrol! Has obviously been neglecting bed number 4 though, will have to have words!!!

The peas that i planted in the guttering are just beginning to emerge as are the seeds that Millie planted a couple of weeks ago...not sure if i mentioned them. She has Sunflowers, Cornflowers, Nasturtiums and Clarkia in her own section of the garden.

Indoors, the tomato plants are ready for hardening off but not sure if to hold off until we come back from our week away. The Calabrese is coming along, although it snaps REALLY easily. I have broken about 3 of them, but amazingly they appear to still be surviving.
