Hi Charles, yes you are right it is too wet here also to use a hoe. Some of my pathways could do with weeding with a hoe but can wait until it dries up a bit. The mystery of why i have no slugs continues but now have two resident Thrushes on full time pest control for me! I found a snail only for the second time last week. I do make up for not having slugs with big numbers of cutworm attacks and Lettuce root aphid though. The last load of manure a had delivered last year has been full of weed seed, mainly Fat Hen, Buttercup and grass so have had to keep knocking it around with a rake as much as possible before planting beds covered in it. Won’t be using that farmer again. Might be a good tip for anyone needing manure to have a look at the farmers heap in summer and see what its like when things are growing in it!
